The RayDAT SPH-2 Series of surge protective devices has been developed to protect a single pair loop, which could be ungrounded onto data, signal, and communication circuits. The RayDAT SPH-4 Series of surge protective devices has been developed to protect two pair loops, which could be ungrounded onto data, signal and communication circuits. It is intended for those applications where high ground potential rises may frequently occur, such as in locations close to electric railways. The circuit topology consists of a multi-stage protector providing both common (longitudinal) mode and differential (transverse) mode protection. Coarse protection is provided by a three-terminal gas discharge tube while fine protection is provided using a high-speed silicon avalanche diode or metal oxide varistor stage. Care is taken to ensure coordination between these two stages without voltage or
surge current blind spots occurring. Thermal protection is provided to reduce the hazards of thermal runaway should there be an inadvertent mains incursion fault. Both common (longitudinal) mode and differential (transverse) mode protection is provided. If the module is unplugged out of the base, the connection lines remain enabled.
