2029-35-SMLF

Introduction

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) is a kind of protective device used to protect electronic equipment against over-voltage. GDTs protect against over-voltage conditions caused by lightning, induction, or other sources. These lightning arresters work by providing a low-resistance path for the electrical energy to move to ground.

2029-35-SMLF Application Field and Working Principle

The 2029-35-SMLF lightning arrester is used primarily in high-voltage applications, such as substations, power plants, and industrial sites, but it can be used in other low-voltage applications as well. The 2029-35-SMLF is designed to protect against over-voltages ranging from 6 kV to 35 kV and withstand impulse current of 85 kA for 10/360 μs. In operation, the 2029-35-SMLF will absorb overvoltages, limiting the voltage that can enter the equipment.

The 2029-35-SMLF lightning arrester works on a principle called “sparking gap”. When an overvoltage is encountered, a spark will discharge from the electrodes of the arrester, providing an electrical path for the energy to be safely dissipated. The spark is an arc, and when it travels through the air, it transfers ionized particles to the spark gap, providing a path for the discharge. As the overvoltage is reduced, the spark will extinguish, and the arrester will reset.

Features and Benefits

The 2029-35-SMLF arrester is designed to protect primary equipment from inductive and capacitive overvoltage. It features a simple, non-energized design that is both robust and reliable. The 2029-35-SMLF also offers an extended service life, resistance to corrosion, and low maintenance costs. This arrester also has an easy-to-read visual inspection feature that allows the user to quickly determine the status of the device.

The 2029-35-SMLF lightning arrester can also be used in a range of applications, including but not limited to power, electrical, telecommunications, and industrial applications. The 2029-35-SMLF is versatile and designed to meet UL and IEC standards.
