Abstract:
A circuit for surge voltage protection of therefor a telephone station has first and second input terminals for receiving a DC supply voltage via a two-wire subscriber line. Both terminals are shunted via a varistor. In parallel with the varistor is an element for protecting the circuit against polarity reversals. This element has two outputs, one of them carries the positive potential of the DC supply voltage and both of them are connected with respective terminals of the actual station circuit. A V-MOS or bipolar tranistor is arranged between the one output and the associated station circuit terminal. This transistor belongs to a current limiting circuit and serves also as a dialswitch-pulsing contact. The transistor circuit contains two further transistors and a number of dimensioning resistors. The positive output of the protection element is connected to the keyboard-sided input of the transistor circuit via a series network formed by a reverse Zener-diode and a resistor. The breakdown voltage of the this network is below the voltage at which the varistor becomes operative.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for a telephone station with ground connection to a central supply device for the purpose of post-dialling signalling. The circuit arrangement operates independently of which terminal of an exchange battery in the central supply device is connected to ground. A second polarity reversal protection device (rectifier bridge) is used as an indicator of the polarity of the exchange battery, so that, dependent upon the polarity, different grounding paths are formed in the telephone station. The circuit arrangement is universally suitable for PBX exchanges.
Abstract:
A circuit arrangement for a telephone station with earth connection to the central supply device for the purpose of post-dialing signaling, operates independently of whether the negative or the positive pole of the exchange battery is earthed. This is achieved by provided that, on the actuation of the earthing key, the earth connection of the telephone is connected to the unearthed pole of the exchange battery via a transistor network which functions differently in dependence upon the polarity of the exchange battery earthing. The circuit arrangement is universally suitable for PBX exchanges.
