Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) Arresters are one of the most widely used electrical protection devices in the industry. They are usually found in power transformers, ferroresonant units, electric motors, transformers, and other similar equipment.

GDT arresters provide excellent protection to these devices from overvoltage and power surges. This overvoltage may be caused by lightning strikes, industrial activities, switching, and other external factors. In order to prevent these occurrences, the GDT arrester redirects this excessive electric current to the ground, while protecting the other components of the equipment.

In general, a GDT arrester is manufactured from an insulating material and is designed to safely conduct excessive electric current away from the device it is protecting. It works by the process of gas ionization. An impulse of electricity is sent through the material to a series of small gas-filled tubes, which act as a miniature spark gap.

When the electric current is sent through the gas-filled tubes, it causes ionization of the gas molecules, resulting in an electrical breakdown of the gas and a rapid increase in current. This current is passed through the gas-filled tubes until it reaches its highest possible level. After this point, the current is dissipated into the atmosphere.

The design of GDT arresters has evolved over the years and now fully automated manufacturing processes have made them the preferred choice for a wide variety of applications. These applications range from large industrial applications, such as power transformers, to small-scale residential applications.

The primary advantage of using a GDT arrester is that it does not require a maintenance program. It reduces maintenance costs by eliminating the need for periodic testing and service. Additionally, a GDT arrester is less likely to malfunction compared to other types of arresters, providing greater reliability for those who require electrical protection.

GDT Arresters have become increasingly popular in the past few years, due to their efficiency and affordability. In order to meet the market demands of the future, new GDT arresters have been developed, with more robust designs that can better meet the various needs of customers.

The future of GDT Arresters will continue to be driven by new advancements in design and technology. As the technology continues to change and evolve, GDT arresters will become even more integral to the safety of electrical equipment.
