Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDTs), sometimes referred to as spark gap arresters, are one of the most important electrical components for power system protection. GDTs have a wide variety of electric and electronic applications, as they maintain system integrity, safely secure against overvoltage conditions, and help to reduce potential for equipment damage. The 2017-15-A-RPLF application field and working principle of GDTs are discussed in this article.

GDTs are used in a variety of industrial, military, and commercial applications. They are typically applied to the high-frequency components of power systems, such as transient over-voltage protection, suppression of transients, and automated frequency protection. In addition, GDTs are sometimes used as a safety shield against potential over-voltage conditions that can damage equipment. They can also be used in conjunction with other overvoltage protection components to provide a comprehensive surge protection approach.

GDTs operate by creating an arc between two electrodes. When the voltage exceeds the arcing voltage, the discharge tube produces a spark that shorts out the arcing voltage. This arc then dissipates the excess energy of the arcing voltage and dissipates the overvoltage condition. The shorting time of the GDT varies with the size and type of the device. Larger x-ray tubes may have a shorting time of up to several microseconds.

The 2017-15-A-RPLF application field and working principle of GDTs is based on two main principles. First, they take advantage of the practice of voltage division to provide an increased level of protection. By providing cable protection at one end of the circuit, the arcing voltage at the other end is reduced. This ensures that circuit components are protected from overvoltage conditions up to a certain level. Second, they protect the electrical and electronic components from short duration, high-frequency arcing conditions.

GDTs are also used to improve the power factor of the circuit by dissipating the inductive reactances of the inductors. As the inductors are working against its own inherent oversizing, the current flowing through the inductor will be higher. Thus, the GDT acts as a current limiter and prevents overvoltage conditions from building up in the first place. This is especially useful in applications where the circuit requires a high power factor.

The 2017-15-A-RPLF application field and working principle of GDTs also include their use in the power system for protection from lightning strikes or corrosion. By providing a shorting effect, the arcing voltage is dissipated before the strike or corrosion can cause damage to the system. In such cases, the arcing current can reach several hundreds of amperes in order to absorb the effect of the short arcing voltage.

GDTs are also commonly used in industrial contactors and other circuits for electronic and electrical protection. For instance, they can be applied to the high-power circuits of an automobile or other heavy electrical equipment to help ensure the safe operation of such equipment. Additionally, they are also commonly used for spark suppression in industrial applications, such as arc welding or soldering.

Furthermore, GDTs have been used in communication systems for protection against interference and arcing. In Wi-Fi communications, GDTs are used to prevent interference from external sources. Additionally, in wireless radio transmitters GDTs are used to prevent noise from the transmitter from reaching the receiver.

By providing multiple applications and working principles, GDTs have been a popular choice for various power system protection applications. As advances continue to be made in the field of GDTs, their usage and popularity with industry and consumers will continue to grow.
