2026-15-C2F

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are a type of protective device commonly used to provide power surge protection. They are most commonly used in low-voltage power distribution systems, where they can protect against various types of overvoltage or high voltage fault conditions. GDTs are typically designed with both a high-energy capability and a low-energy capability. This combination makes them suitable for a wide range of applications.

The 2026-15-C2F is one example of a GDT. This GDT is designed with a two-stage construction, with an energy-storing capacitor and a gas discharge tube. The capacitor stores the surplus energy released by an overvoltage or overload condition, while the gas discharge tube is designed to limit peak current and control the voltage.

In terms of its application field, the 2026-15-C2F is commonly used on the AC side of power electronic equipment, such as PC boards, communications, and computers. It is also suitable for protecting lighting fixtures, security systems, and other AC circuits from potentially damaging overvoltage or fault currents. The device is also capable of providing protection to systems that use differential scanning, such as surge protection systems.

In terms of its working principle, the 2026-15-C2F utilizes both capacitive and resistive energy dissipation. When a high-level surge is detected, the capacitor creates a short-circuit path, diverting this surge energy away from the protected load. The discharge tube then acts as a surge limiting device, reducing the peak voltage across the load.

Overall, the 2026-15-C2F is an excellent example of the Gas Discharge Tube Arresters family of products. Its two-stage construction and energy-storing capacitor make it suitable for use in a wide range of applications, allowing it to provide power surge protection in high-voltage power distribution systems, or to provide protection in systems that use differential scanning. Its capabilities also make it capable of protecting equipment such as PCs, communications systems, and lighting fixtures from damaging overload and overvoltage conditions.
