Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are commonly used in power grids to protect equipment and prevent power outages from lightning surges. GDTs have been used in various applications, from residential buildings to large industrial installations. The use of GDTs in power systems has become increasingly important due to the increasing complexity and sensitivity of electrical equipment and systems.

A GDT is a type of electrical energy diverter used to dissipate the energy of an electrical surge, such as lightning or an over-voltage short circuit. When a surge occurs, the GDT diverts it away from sensitive electrical components, thus protecting them from potential damage. GDTs are typically composed of two components: a gas-filled tube, and an external arrester. When exposed to an electrical surge, the gas-filled tube is energized, releasing its stored electric energy and diverting the surge away from sensitive electrical components.

The working principle of GDTs is based on the flow of electrons from a high-pressure electrode (the gas-filled tube) to a low-pressure electrode (the external arrester). When an electrical surge is applied to the GDT, an electric arc forms between the gas-filled tube and the external arrester. The arc is composed of rapidly moving electrons which dissipate the surge energy as heat. This dissipation of energy protects the power system components from potential damage.

The development of the GDT has been of great relevance for the power transmission field since it allows a precise protection of components against excessive voltages produced by lightning or other power spikes. GDTs are increasingly common in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical systems and are used to protect high-voltage transmission lines, substations, and motor control circuits. GDTs can provide superior surge protection and, more importantly, reduce the time and expense to repair or replace damaged equipment.

In 2027, new advances in technology have made GDTs even more efficient at providing surge protection, allowing them to be deployed in more applications and places. GDTs are now being used in aerospace applications, automotive systems, solar power inverters, and wind farms. Research is being conducted in the development of new materials and designs that can make GDTs even more efficient and reliable at dissipating electrical surges.

The use of GDTs in power systems will continue to expand in the future, as they become even more effective at providing surge protection. With advances in technology, GDTs will be able to provide more reliable, efficient, and cost-effective surge protection, making them a necessary component of any power system.
