Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) arresters are a form of electrical surge protector designed to protect sensitive electrical equipment by limiting the surge voltage to safe levels. In this way, they help to prevent breakdowns that could potentially cause losses in revenue, equipment and even life. GDT arresters are available in a variety of types and sizes, but the most common form in use today is the 2026-42-C2LF series.

The 2026-42-C2LF arrester was designed for use in high-power applications such as power transformers, high-voltage power lines and industrial machinery, where the voltage and current rating of the GDT arrester must be higher than standard domestic GDT designs. This arrester design is rated at a maximum operating voltage of 60 kV peak, with a impulse peak of 250kV, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

The main components of the 2026-42-C2LF arrester are a base tube, spark gap, core and support ring, the core being made of a dielectric body and a rod of conductive wire. In its normal inactive state, the spark gap is separated, but when a surge of voltage is received, the spark gap releases a series of sparks that each decrease the voltage until it’s no longer a threat. This allows the discharge of the surge voltage before it can cause damage to the protected equipment or wiring.

The 2026-42-C2LF arrester is divided into two main categories, general purpose and forced air cooling. For forced air cooling, the support ring must be attached to a cooling fan. This type of arrester is typically used for high-power industrial or commercial equipment, as the fan will ensure that the GDT is not overheated during operation. In general purpose applications, the support ring is not necessary, and the arrester will be able to handle the surge voltages with the internal components without the need for a cooling fan.

In addition to their protective capabilities, the 2026-42-C2LF arrester also has a variety of other useful functions. The spark gap in the design helps to reduce electrical noise that could otherwise interfere with other electronics, and the dielectric rods act as a filter to further reduce noise. The support ring also helps to maintain stability in the arrester, preventing it from being affected by vibrations or other outside forces. Finally, the design of the 2026-42-C2LF arrester helps to ensure a long useful life, with most models being rated for upwards of 20 years of continual operation.

The 2026-42-C2LF GDT arrester is an effective solution for protecting sensitive equipment from the possibility of surge damage. Its simple design ensures reliable performance, and the additional benefits of noise reduction, vibration protection, and a long service life make it an ideal choice for many applications.
