Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are an important part of the protection circuit in power systems. The 2026-60-C8LF is a GDT with a voltage rating of 8kV, a current rating of 60ka and a capacitance of 15pF. It is widely used in most medium voltage and high voltage AC power transmission and distribution systems, as well as in many industrial and commercial applications.

A Gas Discharge Tube Arrester (GDT) functions in the same manner as a lightning rod: it is placed on a power line at the point closest to the atmospheric disturbance in order to protect it from possible lightning-induced currents. The 2026-60-C8LF is placed on the power line and acts as a last line of defense against transient overvoltages. It works by “clamping” the voltage on the line and thus limiting the surge amplitude to a safe level. The 2026-60-C8LF is effective at suppressing lightning-induced transient overvoltages up to 6kV crest.

The 2026-60-C8LF is composed of an internal spark gap and a fuse element. The internal spark gap is a tube filled with a special gas mixture, which is designed to break down and flashover when it reaches a predetermined voltage level. As this happens, the overvoltage is diverted from the line to ground, and the energy of the surge is dissipated as heat in the gap, thereby limiting the surge amplitude. The fuse element is designed to melt if the current flowing through the GDT is above the rated value, thus preventing an overload condition.

The 2026-60-C8LF is broadly applied in various applications. It is commonly used for power line transients suppression and it can also be used as an AC and DC suppressing device in power transmission and distribution systems. In addition, GDTs can be used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications such as surge protectors for power supplies, communication equipment, and cables.

In conclusion, the 2026-60-C8LF is an effective tool for protecting against transient overvoltages and surges. Its internal spark gap can limit the surge amplitude to a safe level, while its fuse element can prevent an overloading condition. The 2026-60-C8LF is also versatile and can be used in a variety of applications, making it a popular choice for many power systems and equipment.
