CORNING SPD 356-XY 1-PR TANDACTION HYBRID STATION PROTECTOR 355M/356M2

Description The SPD 356-XY TandAction™ Hybrid Station Protector employs a heavy-duty 3-element gas tube whose operation is matched with solid-state MOVs (metal oxide varistors). The level of protection is improved compared to ordinary gas tube protectors, or other hybrid protectors, by coordinating the operating voltages of the MOVs and the gas tube. The MOV operates first, providing rapid response to fast rising voltage surges induced by lightning, while the gas tube provides the high energy protection so important on residential telephone circuits. The result is better protection for analog and digital electronic equipment connected to the telephone network plus long protector service life. TandAction hybrid station protectors provide improved service life even when exposed to severe temperature and humidity cycling compared to gas tubes with backup air gaps. Life shortening intermittent noise and erratic operation, due to backup air gap contamination, are eliminated with the use of solid-state MOVs. Furthermore, the heavy-duty 3-element gas tube protects against both longitudinal and metallic (transverse) surges by grounding tip and ring connections simultaneously. If a power cross causes abnormal current flow on the telephone line, a fail-safe eutectic alloy pellet shorts the line to ground.
