Abstract

An electronic interface circuit between a telephone subscriber line and a telephone main exchange is disclosed which forms, with the main exchange battery, a supply bridge for the telephone line, with limitation of the line current to a predetermined threshold value. The voltage/current characteristic of the supply bridge is balanced for lower values of the line current than the threshold current and is unbalanced whenever the line current attains said threshold current.
