Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are an electrical component designed to protect electric and electronic equipment against damage or destruction due to lightning strikes or other lightning-related events. GDTs are most commonly used on outdoor power lines, control systems, signal lines, communication lines, and antenna systems. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of 2026-60-A GDT.

The 2026-60-A GDT is a surge-generating device intended for medium voltage protection applications. It is designed to protect medium voltage, AC primary systems from voltage transients resulting from either lightning or power system faults. This GDT is capable of withstanding extreme voltage variations, allowing it to absorb lightning shocks and still protect the circuit. The 2026-60-A GDT has a voltage rating of up to 8 kV and can handle an impulse current of up to 12 kA. It is rated for a maximum of 3 seconds of continuous operating time.

The 2026-60-A GDT is typically installed outdoors on medium voltage systems. It can be used on both overhead and underground systems. Installation of the GDT is relatively straightforward and requires only basic hand tools. The device is designed to be connected directly to the power system, either between the overhead line and the transformer, or between the transformer and the service entrance. It should be installed in a vertical orientation, with the bottom of the GDT in contact with earth ground.

The 2026-60-A GDT operates according to the Thermal-Magnetic principle. This means that when a lightning surge occurs, the device detects the energy, dissipates it quickly, and then reacts to the voltage or current levels as necessary. When the voltage or current rises to a predetermined level, the GDT will activate an internal circuit breaker or shut off the power. This shuts down the affected area, preventing any further damage to the equipment or power system.

The 2026-60-A GDT has several features designed to protect the equipment and power system. It has a fast reaction time, meaning it can detect and respond to a voltage surge within milliseconds. Additionally, it has a low temperature coefficient, meaning it can remain stable in extreme temperature conditions. It also has a high surge capacity, meaning it can handle extreme conditions, such as large lightning shocks and voltage transients.

In conclusion, the 2026-60-A GDT is an order-to-use, reliable, and cost-effective solution for medium-voltage protection applications. It is specifically designed to protect medium-voltage systems from lightning surges and other transient incidents. The GDT operates according to a thermal-magnetic principle and provides fast reaction time, low temperature coefficients, and high surge capacity. It is highly recommended for outdoor power lines, control systems, signal lines, communication lines, and antenna systems.
