The 2027-47-SM-RP application field and working principle of Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) can be divided into several categories. It covers surge protection as well as other applications. Below are the main categories and their respective application field and working principle.

Surge Arresters

Surge Arresters protect electronic circuits from large, unexpected voltage spikes, often caused by lightning strikes or power line switching. A surge arrester is composed of many Gas Discharge Tubes (GDT) encased in an insulated tube. The high voltage or high energy spikes are diverted through the GDTs by a fast-operating switching mechanism, thus causing the current to peak independently and allowing energy to be absorbed by the GDTs. The goal of a surge arrester is to limit the input energy to a level that an electronic circuit will not be damaged. A typical surge arrester can protect against surge pulse of up to 100 kV peak.

Power Grid Protection

Since surge arresters are designed for high voltage applications, they can also be used in power grids providing surge protection. These systems must also be equipped with surge arresters to prevent damage due to lightning strikes or power line switching. The working principle of surge arresters for power grid protections is based on the modified form of the Zener diode. GDTs have a capacitance which then acts as the Zener diode and can absorb the large amounts of energy produced by lightning strikes, thus preventing damage to the power grid.

Capacitive Voltage Transients

Capacitive voltage transients are caused when a sudden overvoltage appears or is created in a power line. These transients can cause damage to delicate electronic components, but if properly suppressed, can be prevented from causing excessive damage or destruction. Gas Discharge Tubes (GDTs) are used in these conditions to reduce the energy of the transient. The working principle of a GDT is to produce a spark gap by trapping the charge in a metal chamber and then releasing it in a controlled way. The spark gap absorbs and dissipates the transient energy, thus protecting delicate electronic components.

Lightning Protection Systems

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDTs) are also used in lightning protection systems. They are used to protect structures and buildings against damage due to direct lightning strikes. GDTs are placed at strategic points around a structure or building, to provide a path for the lightning to be diverted away from the structure. This prevents the energy of the lightning strike from reaching the electronic components or other vulnerable parts of the structure. A GDT works by absorbing the induced current surges that are caused by the lightning and dissipates this energy in a controlled way.

Inductive Voltage Transients

Inductive voltage transients are caused due to a change in the electrical field in the power line. These transients can cause severe damage to electrical and electronic components. To prevent this from occurring, GDTs are often used. The working principle of the GDT is to use a spark gap which absorbs the energy of the transient and dissipates it in a controlled way.

Conclusion

The 2027-47-SM-RP application field and working principle of Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) can be divided into several categories. These categories range from surge protection to power grid protection and from capacitive voltage transients to lightning protection systems and inductive voltage transients. All these applications and working principles are designed to protect electrical and electronic components from high voltage or high energy surges. GDTs can absorb and dissipate a maximum of 100 kV while providing an effective protection against voltage transients.
