Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are a kind of electrical device used to protect circuits from electrical over-voltage. The 2036-23-C3LF is a member of this GDT family, it is a three-electrode gas-filled device. It was designed for over-voltage protection of communications circuits operating from 16-20 kHz, in both AC and DC applications up to 1,600 V AC max. The 2036-23-C3LF is usually used for switching in high frequency applications and is was a key component for high voltage pulse generators.

Application Field

The 2036-23-C3LF is used mainly to protect communication circuits from electrical over-voltage, such as transmission lines, digital or telephone cables, railway lines, and power converters. It is designed to strike on and trip off at a certain threshold voltage. The 2036-23-C3LF also serves as a pulse generator in high frequency applications. It can generate short signals to initiate switching operations or to initiate changes in a circuit. In medical applications, the 2036-23-C3LF is used to generate short electric pulses to initiate changes in neurons and brain activities.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 2036-23-C3LF GDT is simple: it contains a noble gas-filled tube connected to three electrodes, which create a tiny arc of electricity when exposed to electric voltage, thus releasing energy to the surroundings. When the electrical stress is greater than the trip-off point, the tube initiates a spark, which results in the current flowing from one electrode to the other. The current then neutralizes the high potential difference, thus protecting the line from over-voltage. The strike voltage of the 2036-23-C3LF can be adjusted according to the desired levels of protection.

The device has built-in features such as spark counter, spark duration, and surge current limitation, so that it can handle any over-voltage without damage to the transmission line. It is also capable of providing over-voltage protection against power surges. When the line voltage exceeds the strike voltage, the gas-filled tube will detect it and break the transmission line. The GDT also has a spark-termination function, where it will re-establish the circuit again when the surge voltage has dropped below a certain level.

The 2036-23-C3LF can be used in both isolated and non-isolated applications, depending on the requirements of the system. In isolated applications, the tube is connected to the line through a voltage divider and junction box, while in non-isolated applications, it is connected directly to the line. In both cases, the 2036-23-C3LF can provide effective over-voltage protection.

Conclusion

The 2036-23-C3LF Gas Discharge Tube Arresters is a three-electrode gas-filled device, mainly used to protect communication circuits from electrical over-voltage. It can handle any over-voltage without damage to the transmission line, and is capable of providing over-voltage protection against power surges. It can be used in both isolated and non-isolated applications, where it is connected to the line through a voltage divider and junction box in isolated applications, and connected directly to the line in non-isolated applications. The 2036-23-C3LF is key component for high voltage pulse generators, and has built-in features such as spark counter, spark duration, and surge current limitation.
