ABSTRACT:
A gas tube protector module is provided that provides sneak current protection in addition to voltage surge protection. The module has two pairs of terminals with one pair for connection to outside plant and the second pair for connection to the inside wiring. The module has a gas tube with leads connected to the first pair of terminals. Positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistors are disposed electrically between the lead and the second pair of terminals such that the PTCs are in series between the outside plant and the inside wiring.
