Abstract

An OVP module that connects with a hybrid trunk cable includes: a mounting frame; an overvoltage unit mounted in the mounting frame and configured to create an open electrical circuit when experiencing a voltage higher than a predetermined threshold; a first contact configured to receive a first set of power conductors from a hybrid trunk cable; a second contact configured to receive a second set of power conductors from the hybrid trunk cable; a first OVP conductor connected between the first contact and the overvoltage unit; a second OVP conductor connected between the second contact and the overvoltage unit; a third contact configured to receive a first set of power cords; a fourth contact configured to receive a second set of power cords; a third OVP conductor connected between the overvoltage unit and the third contact; and a fourth OVP conductor connected between the overvoltage unit and the fourth contact.
