    摘要: A redundant ringing signal generator subdivides a ringing signal bus into multiple ringing bus segments. A plurality of redundant ringing voltage generators sourcing internally and/or externally ringing voltages are individually and selectively connectable to the multiple ringing bus segments. In the event of a prescribed anomaly in the ringing signal sourced by a ringing generator, the faulty ringing signal is automatically disconnected from its associated ringing bus segment, and that ringing bus segment is connected to a redundant ringing signal source, provided by either the same or another ringing generator.

    摘要: An adaptive power supply span powers devices used in telecommunications. It includes a power circuit and control circuit that receives power and sense signals therefrom and provides a control signal thereto and distinguishes between a first network interface load having a constant voltage input power requirement and a second network interface unit load having a constant current input power requirement. A voltage control circuit and current control circuit are interconnected together and connected to the power circuit. A control signal from the voltage control circuit and current control circuit extends to the power circuit. The control circuit maintains a fixed output voltage for constant voltage regulation for the first network interface unit load, if the output current remains below a threshold current. The circuit limits the output current to a regulated value for constant current regulation below the initial maximum value for powering a second network interface unit if the initial output current is greater than the threshold current for a time greater than a threshold time.

    摘要: A central office transceiver-installed current limiter and regulator provides fault isolation and transient load isolation in a wireline communication network, having multiple transceivers connected by respective span-powered wirelines to a common power source at the central office. Using a current-sense resistor and controlled switch in series with the wireline, the current-limiter and regulator processes input electrical power from the power source prior to coupling that power to a remote transceiver. To prevent overheating and substantial power dissipation in the current-limiting circuitry in the event of a prolonged fault condition, the controlled switch is alternately turned on and off.

    摘要: A ground fault current-limiting circuit for limiting telecommunication wireline voltage and ground fault current to prescribed safety parameters has a ground fault current sense resistor and associated line voltage control circuit installed in a ground-coupling link to the center tap of the output winding of a bipolar voltage converter's output transformer. The control circuit compares ground fault current of either polarity flowing through the sense resistor to a prescribed value. In response to this current limit being exceeded, the control circuit produces an output signal that causes the power source to reduce its output voltage so that the ground fault current will drop to within acceptable limits.

    摘要: A processor controlled mechanism automatically determines from a location such as a central office whether termination equipment installed at a remote end of a wireline link is span-powered, or is powered locally. It then applies a voltage to the wireline link that is appropriate for the identified type of termination equipment. This eliminates the need for two separate central office loop-powering devices. In the course of making the determination, nothing higher than a safety extra low voltage is applied to the wireline link, to comply with Underwriter's Laboratory standards for locally powered customer premises equipment.

    摘要: An automated battery test system determines the performance capability of an auxiliary battery used as a back-up power source for an electrically powered system in the event of a deficiency in a primary power source. The test system periodically isolates the auxiliary battery from the primary power source and tests at least one electrical characteristic of the auxiliary battery, without preventing the auxiliary battery from being immediately reconnected with the primary power source in the event of a need for a back-up. A multiple alarm arrangement generates audible and visual alarms in response to a detected failure of the auxiliary battery.

    摘要: A ground fault detection and line power supply control system protects telecommunication service personnel working on line-powered telephone circuits from ground faults, without requiring that the line power supply be disconnected or shut down prior to a technician working on the line. A ground fault loop sensing current is sourced from an auxiliary DC voltage source that is separate and distinct from the line power supply. This auxiliary DC voltage source is coupled through a ground fault current sense resistor to one side of the powered line, so that detection of a ground fault condition is not dependent upon the supply of current from the potentially hazardous line supply. If a ground fault occurs through either or both of the powered lines, the current flow through the sense resistor will exceed a prescribed threshold, and initiate operation of a switching circuit within the line-powering equipment, thereby rapidly reducing power to the telephone line until the ground fault is cleared or the loop power supply is reset.
