Enhanced Primary Protection; Secondary Protection; Recommended Protectors - Avaya 6424D+M User Manual

ELECTRICAL PROTECTION: SYSTEM 85 AND DEFINITY GENERIC 2 WITH TRADITIONAL MODULES
Sneak-Current Device: Fuse
A sneak-current fuse is a fuse that melts when currents of .35A (for 4 hours) to 5.25A (for more than 10
seconds) reach it. Sneak-current fuses may be installed before or after the network interface (NI) in
series with the primary protector. Sneak-current fuses operate independently of the primary protector
and must be installed after it.
NOTE: AT&T protector units that start with the number 4 are equipped with a heat coil to provide
both sneak-current and overvoltage protection.

ENHANCED PRIMARY PROTECTION

Enhanced primary protectors are protectors that operate at lower voltage or current levels than primary
protectors.

SECONDARY PROTECTION

Secondary protection, such as a data-link protector (DLP), provides additional protection for equipment
with a specific vulnerability. A DLP is an isolation transformer that provides protection for digital
terminals by isolating the low-impedance, phantom-powered circuit from an exposed loop. Local power
must be provided if the digital terminals are to be port-powered.

RECOMMENDED PROTECTORS

Following are recommended electrical protectors that can be used for primary, enhanced primary, and
secondary applications. With the exception of the 79A sneak-current fuses, all of the following primary
and enhanced primary protector units plug into 188 panels.
PRIMARY PROTECTORS
The following AT&T primary protector units are recommended for the protection of analog circuits.
3B1A — carbon block protector unit
