3.2.9 Surge Protector Installation

3.2.9 Surge Protector Installation

CAUTION

Performing surge protection is essential. Make sure to follow the instructions in this section.

Overview

A massive electrical surge can be caused if lightning strikes a telephone cable 10 m (33 ft) above ground, or if a telephone line comes into contact with a power line. A surge protector is a device that is connected to a CO line to prevent potentially dangerous electrical surges from entering the building via the CO line and damaging the PBX and connected equipment.

To protect the system from electrical surges, we strongly recommend connecting the system to a surge protector that meets the following specifications:

Surge arrestor type: 3-electrode arrestor

DC spark-over voltage: 230 V

Maximum peak current: at least 10 kA

Additionally, proper grounding is very important for the protection of the system (refer to "3.2.3 Frame Ground Connection").

Many countries/areas have regulations requiring surge protection. Be sure to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines.
