Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT), or surge protectors, are commonly used in many industrial, residential and commercial locations to protect against excess voltage or lightning strikes. A GDT uses an ionized gas (usually air) to conduct current at a predetermined voltage. When the voltage exceeds this threshold, the gas breaks down and current is diverted, providing a protection mechanism from the increased current or voltage spike.

The 2027-42-SM is a single-phase, non-linear, GDT arrester designed for demanding industrial applications. This arrester is composed of a zinc oxide and silicon rubber combination that features high efficient for non-linear discharge and internal fusing for effective over voltage protection. The 2027-42-SM is designed to absorb up to 12kV of energy, while its maximum discharge current is 40kA.

One specific application for the 2027-42-SM GDT arrester is in telecommunications. This arrester is especially suitable for locations where high noise immunity and power transient protection is necessary to safeguard telecommunication equipment from lightning strikes. The 2027-42-SM also offers excellent protection from power transients that may arise due to an electrical short circuit or overheating of electrical components.

The working principle of the 2027-42-SM GDT arrester is to provide a mechanism for diverting excessive voltage or current away from a protected device. When the voltage reaches a predetermined level, the arrester triggers, initiating a spark between two conductive plates. This creates a short circuit between the primary and secondary plates of the GDT, which acts as a “shunt” for the excess electricity. The arrester also creates an inductive path in the form of a magnetic field, which dissipates the momentum of the flow, preventing damage to the protected device.

While the 2027-42-SM GDT arrester provides a highly reliable protective mechanism, there are some considerations that should be taken into account when implementing a 2027-42-SM surge protection solution. Firstly, the arrester should be correctly installed to ensure it operates as designed. The arrester can also be affected by the environment, including humidity, temperature and altitude. Therefore it is important to install the arrester in a location where these environmental conditions can be monitored and controlled.

In conclusion, the 2027-42-SM GDT arrester is an effective solution for providing protection against lightning and power transients. It is a highly reliable and cost-effective solution that is capable of withstanding a significant amount of energy. The combination of an inductive path and a short circuit mechanism provides highly efficient protection against high voltage transients, ensuring the safety of connected equipment.
