Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are a type of overvoltage protection device used in electrical and telecom systems. A GDT is basically composed of a spark gap and a spark arrester, which will activate if the voltage in the system reaches a certain threshold. The objectives of a GDT are to limit the amount of power in the electrical or telecom system, and to protect the system from potential overvoltage or surge failure. GDTs are usually composed of a metal oxide and a spark gap, which can be either a single unit or multiple units depending on the design of the system.

The 2026-60-C2F GDT is an example of a popular GDT designed for telecom applications. It is composed of two components, a spark gap and a spark arrester. It is designed to protect circuits from surges of up to 65 VAC and can handle a maximum current of 425 A. The 2026-60-C2F GDT is also capable of dissipating up to 5 kV/min at full operating temperature. The spark gap consists of two ceramic rings that are electrically charged with an AC voltage source and designed to spark when the voltage in the circuit rises too high. The spark arrester is made of a bimetallic element which is capable of discharging an electric current when it reaches a predetermined level.

The working principle of the 2026-60-C2F GDT is based on the fact that it acts as a high-speed switch that opens and closes in response to voltage changes. When the voltage begins to rise in the circuit, the spark gap will open, completing the flow of current. The spark arrester will then close, blocking the current. This process happens in a very short amount of time, normally less than a microsecond. The GDT will limit the amount of voltage that can be supplied to the electrical or telecom system, and protect it from overvoltage or sudden surges.

GDTs have many applications in the telecom and electrical industries. They are used for protection against lightning, surge, and transient voltage, as well as for power supply regulation and filtering. They are also used in communication systems to reduce the noise caused by electromagnetic interferences, improve signal strength, and provide better signal reception. GDTs can also be used to provide overvoltage protection for low-voltage circuits such as intercom systems and door entry systems.

The 2026-60-C2F GDT is a reliable, cost-effective solution for telecom and electrical applications requiring overvoltage protection. Its spark gap and spark arrester components provide a fast responding protection mechanism that is capable of limiting the voltage supplied to a system, and protecting it from overvoltage failure. The GDT also provides noise protection and signal strength improvement in communication systems.
