Key Features of PTC Electric MZ23 

How PTC Electric Resistor Safeguards Telecom Circuits

Series Connection for Enhanced Protection

To ensure robust protection, a PTC thermistors are connected in series with each line, typically serving as secondary protection. Even when primary circuit protection, such as a gas discharge tube, is present, the PTC Electric must meet stringent requirements. This includes withstanding surge pulses of up to 2 KV and short-term power induction, highlighting the critical role of PTC Resistor in telecom systems.

Voltage Handling and Primary Protection Considerations

The PTC Thermistors are designed to handle high voltages. If primary protection is available, a PTC Resistor rated at 220V to 300V is usually adequate. However, in the absence of primary protection, a 600V PTC Electric is necessary to provide sufficient circuit protection, ensuring that the telecom system remains safeguarded against electrical faults.

Response to Circuit Overload and Fault Conditions

In a normal operating state, the current flowing through the PTC thermistors is low, keeping the temperature below the Curie point, which maintains the PTC Resistor in a low resistance state. When the circuit experiences an overload or fault, the PTC Thermistors rapidly increase their resistance, effectively "cutting off" the circuit to prevent damage.

Automatic Resetting and Continuous Protection

After the fault is cleared, the PTC Electric cools down and returns to its low resistance state, allowing the circuit to resume normal operation. This ability to automatically reset ensures that the PTC Thermistors can repeatedly provide protection whenever the circuit encounters faults, making it an essential component in maintaining the integrity and reliability of telecom systems.

Key Functional Process:

  1. Normal Operation: In a normal working state, the current through the PTC Resistor is low, keeping the thermistor in a low resistance state.
  2. Overcurrent Condition: When a circuit overload occurs, the PTC Electric's resistance increases sharply, effectively cutting off the circuit to prevent damage.
  3. Post-Protection: After the circuit fault is cleared, the PTC Thermistors cool down, returns to its low resistance state, and the circuit resumes normal operation.

This cycle allows the PTC Electric to continuously provide protection each time a circuit fault occurs.
