TII 356M2 1-PR GAS PROTECTOR WITH GROUND LUG BLACK - BALANCED NEW SURGE ARRESTERS TII 356M2
Heavy Duty Station Protector Three-Electrode Heavy Duty Balanced Gas Tube Narrow Breakdown Voltage Range Fully Encapsulated Assembly Reduces Maintenance Cost Listed to UL 497
TII Totel FailsafeŽ Station Protector Modules are the basic components of TII Station
Protectors. The TII 356M2 module consists of a TII Heavy Duty three-electrode gas
tube surge arrester of narrow breakdown voltage range, a failshort mechanism and
backup airgaps.
KEY PRODUCT BENEFITS
The entire assembly is completely encapsulated to prevent moisture entry and environmental contamination. The completely self-contained unit is provided with a corrosion-resistant ground strap and two threaded binding posts for service wire and station wire connections. Totel FailsafeŽ protection is provided in three ways: 1) The narrow breakdown voltage range gas tube operates on overvoltage surges
and shunts the transient to ground. 2) The failshort device operates under power cross conditions to permanently ground the line. 3) Backup airgap provides surge protection in the unlikely event that the gas tube arrester should vent. The TII 356M2 may be employed in a variety of single and multiple pair protector assemblies and NIDs. When mounted in a TII station protector or network interface device (NID), the assembly is UL listed in the Signal Circuit Protector category. The TII 356M2 uses the TII 11 three-electrode balanced gas tube with narrow breakdown voltage range. The fast acting and narrow breakdown voltage range of the balanced gas tube improves protection coordination between primary and secondary protectors. The gas tube recovers after a surge, and remains ready for continued operation normally for many years. This results in reduced maintenance cost over the life of an installation.
INDUSTRY STANDARDS Surge handling and life capabilities of the TII 356M2 exceed the objectives of Telcordia GR-1361-CORE ensuring superior performance. Listed to UL 497.
