2003-07-SM-RPLF

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are designed to protect systems, and components, against transient overvoltages. As the name implies, their working principle relies on the use of a discharge tube. When a transient overvoltage occurs, current flows through the discharge tube, resulting in an arc within the tube, which dissipates the surge energy.

The 2003-07-SM-RPLF application field is based on its working principle. The device contains a lamp-shaped gas-filled tube, usually with a quartz window, positioned between two electrodes. The electrodes protect the device from electrical spikes. The gas inside the discharge tube causes a spark which limits the voltage on the source side and prevents its flow to the protected side. As the voltage rises, a spark forms within the discharge tube, resulting in directional arcing, or a spark gap breakdown, which limits the voltage to the protected side.

The 2003-07-SM-RPLF is designed for a wide range of applications in industrial, military, and commercial installations, and in power transmission and distribution networks. It can be used for outdoor and indoor protection, and has been tested up to a 1000V peak impulse voltage. This device provides high performance in suppressing transient voltages and has a long life cycle. Moreover, it is extremely reliable, with reliable and stable performance in all its varieties.

GDTs are often used for protection of sensitive electronic equipment, allowing them to remain safe in the presence of transients such as lightning and static discharge. They are also used to protect against surges in electrical power lines and external connections. When the voltage on the protected side exceeds the breakdown voltage of the discharge tube, an arc is formed, which dissipates the surge energy, thus limiting the voltage on the protected side.

GDTs are designed to absorb a certain amount of energy, depending on their size, before they break down. In the case of the 2003-07-SM-RPLF, this depends on the breakdown voltage of the discharge tube, which varies between 800 and 900 volts. When a surge occurs, the surge energy is absorbed by the GDT, thus limiting the voltage on the protected side.

Gas discharge tubes are an essential component of surge protection systems. Their fast responding time, wide range of voltages and simple installation make them an ideal choice for surge protection. The 2003-07-SM-RPLF is a versatile device, designed for a wide range of applications. Its working principle ensures reliable protection against transient overvoltages, making it an ideal choice for surge protection.
