JUNE 14, 2004 PROTECTORS FOR PAIRED-CONDUCTOR COMMUNICATIONS CIRCUITS - UL 497 6UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover protectors for paired-conductor communications circui
27、ts to be used in accordance with Article 800 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. 1.2 As covered by these requirements, a communications circuit protector consists of single- and multiple-pair air gap arresters, gas tube arresters, or solid state arresters, with or without fuses or other voltag
28、e-limiting devices. A circuit protector is intended to protect equipment, wiring, and personnel against the effects of excessive potentials and currents in telephone lines caused by lightning, contacts with power conductors, power induction, and rises in ground potential. 1.3 This standard does not
29、cover the following: a) Lightning protective devices for the protection of secondary distribution wiring systems and equipment. b) Antenna discharge units for radio- and television-receiving appliances. c) Lightning conductor and air terminals for connection of lightning rods for building protection
30、. d) Protectors for re alarm signaling circuits that are covered by the Standard for Protectors for Data Communications and Fire-Alarm Circuits, UL 497B. e) Secondary Protectors for Communications Circuits, UL 497A. f) Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors, UL 1449. 1.4 A product that contains feature
31、s, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or different from those covered by the requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of re or of electric shock or injury to persons shall be evaluated using appropriate additional component and end-product requirements to maintain
32、the level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent of this standard. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conict with specic requirements or provisions of this standard does not comply with this standard. Revision of requirements shall be proposed and
33、 adopted in conformance with the methods employed for development, revision, and implementation of this standard.

34、 2 General 2.1 Components 2.1.1 Except as indicated in 2.1.2, a component of a product covered by this standard shall comply with the requirements for that component. 2.1.2 A component is not required to comply with a specic requirement that: a) Involves a feature or characteristic not required in t
35、he application of the component in the product covered by this standard, or b) Is superseded by a requirement in this standard. 2.1.3 A component shall be used in accordance with its rating established for the intended conditions of use. 2.1.4 Specic components are incomplete in construction feature
36、s or restricted in performance capabilities. Such components are intended for use only under limited conditions, such as certain temperatures not exceeding specied limits, and shall be used only under those specic conditions. 2.2 Units of measurement 2.2.1 Values stated without parentheses are the r
37、equirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 2.2.2 Unless otherwise indicated, all voltage and current values mentioned in this standard are root-mean-square (rms). 2.3 Undated references 2.3.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements
38、 of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard. 3 Glossary 3.1 For the purpose of this standard the following denitions apply. 3.2 APPLIQU ARRESTER ASSEMBLY An assembly containing two 2-electrode or one 3-electrode gas tube arresters intended for f
39、actory or eld connection on a protector block across a pair of carbon arresters. It is intended to reduce maintenance of carbon arresters by discharging lightning-induced voltages that can cause deterioration of carbon arresters. An appliqu arrester may be constructed to shunt the telephone circuit
40、to earth ground or remove itself from the telephone circuit by fusing open, thus permitting operation of parallel arresters during sustained abnormal line voltage. 3.3 ARRESTER An overvoltage component or assembly of components which permits current ow through it when a designed voltage limit is rea
41、ched. The arrester may consist of a spark gap, gas tube, solid-state component, or the like, coupled with other hardware which serves to support, position, and align the current-carrying components that make up the arrester. 3.4 ARRESTER RATING The breakdown voltage rating specied by the manufacture

APRIL 25, 2001 PROTECTORS FOR PAIRED-CONDUCTOR COMMUNICATIONS CIRCUITS - UL 497 8UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 3.5 DIRECT CURRENT (DC) BREAKDOWN VOLTAGE The voltage at which an arrester changes from non-conduction to con
43、duction when the DC potential is increased at a rate not greater than 2000 volts per second. 3.6 FUSE, INSTRUMENT (FUSE, SNEAK CURRENT) A fuse connected in series between the equipment side of an arrester and the telephone equipment that is intended to limit sneak currents. 3.7 FUSE, LINE A fuse con
44、nected in series between a telephone entrance conductor and an arrester and the telephone equipment that is intended to open during a sustained power fault and prevent the protector and ground wire from overheating. The equipment side of the fuse is connected to an arrester. 3.8 FUSE WIRE A conducto
45、r inserted in the telephone outside plant (OSP) if fuseless protectors are installed. The fuse wire is inserted into the connections of the telephone distribution plant between the telephone wire on the pole and the aerial drop wire leading to the building protector. 3.9 FUSIBLE ELEMENT A portion of
46、 an arrester assembly composed of a eutectic alloy that melts on occurrence of a sustained fault, such as a power line contact fault, and permanently shorts the arrester to ground. Other mechanisms that operate and provide a short-circuit mode are also considered fusible elements. 3.10 GAS TUBE SURG
47、E ARRESTER A gap or series of gaps in an enclosed discharge medium, other than air at atmospheric pressure, designed to protect apparatus or personnel or both from high transient voltages. 3.11 GLOW MODE The conductive mode of a gas arrester that exists after breakdown when the circuit impedance lim
48、its the current to a value less than the glow-to-arc transition current. In the glow mode the gas in the arrester is not completely ionized and the voltage across the arrester is greater than the arc voltage but less than the breakdown voltage. 3.12 HEAT COIL A protection device that is used to dete
49、ct low current fault conditions that ow through the protector to the equipment side when the abnormal voltage is insufficient to cause the overvoltage device to shunt the abnormal current to ground. It is comprised of a small gauge wire wound on a metallic bobbin with a shorting pin. When the coil is heated above a predetermined temperature and melts the eutectic alloy holding the pin in position, it grounds or opens the circuit. 3.13 LINE CONDUCTOR A conductor that term
