Abstract: A surge protection circuit utilizing direct current (DC) voltage on the information carrying coaxial cable of a receiving device with a surge protection device to suppress transient signal fluctuations over the coaxial cable and a diagnostic surge protection status indicator with on/off configurations to indicate the status of operation of the surge protection device. The visual indicator may be a light emitting diode or some other indicator device that when energized indicates normal operation of the surge protection circuit.

Abstract: A data surge protection module which can be added to data and control networks not having such protection. The use of quick connect/disconnect connectors allows the rapid installation or replacement of such modules. a built in ground plate and a braided low impedance conductor offer alternative grounding methods for the module. The module employs two or more diode steering bridges and uses a diode as the surge suppression element.

Abstract: A combination surge detector/counter device that detects and counts various surge conditions that occur during a specified time interval. The device includes a surge detector circuit which generates a surge voltage signal in response to the occurrence of a surge condition at an input AC power source. The surge detector includes a surge suppressor, such as a metal oxide varistor (MOV), coupled in series with a current sensor such as a toroid transformer. In response to a surge condition, the surge suppressor generates a surge current signal which is converted into a surge voltage signal by the current sensor. To improve the sensitivity of the detector, a portion of a lead of the surge suppressor may be arranged to extend through a central opening of the current sensor. The surge voltage signal is processed by a surge sensitivity selector which provides a plurality of user selectable voltage sensitivity levels.
