2036-35-C3

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are devices used for protecting electrical equipment from high voltages, such as lightning strikes. GDTs are made up of two electrodes, the anode and the cathode, which are separated by an insulator. They work by allowing current to flow in the forward direction when voltage is applied, but blocking any current from flowing backwards, thus protecting the equipment from high voltage surges as well as low voltage disturbances. The 2036-35-C3 is a type of GDT that is designed for use in high voltage overhead power systems.

The 2036-35-C3 is composed of two electrodes which are closely spaced and a turn to turn insulation. The two sections of the GDT are then sealed using glass shell technology and filled with inert gas. This significantly reduces the risk of electric arcs and thus improves the overall safety of the GDT and its associated power equipment. The 2036-35-C3 is rated for operations at 39kV, and is used for various applications including surge protection of power distribution networks, industrial control systems, and telecommunications systems.

The 2036-35-C3 works on a simple principle. When high voltage applied, the gas within the GDT ionizes and the resulting electric current creates an arc between the two electrodes, which then dissipates the energy in the form of heat. This prevents the electric current from going back to the power source, thus protecting the equipment from high voltage surges and low voltage disturbances. The GDT is uniquely designed to withstand overvoltage transients, while still allowing safe operation of the equipment.

The 2036-35-C3 is also known to exhibit excellent high temperature performance, with a temperature range of up to 125°C. This makes it suitable for wide range of applications even in areas with harsh climatic conditions. The GDT also features a greater response time compared to other GDTs, thus making it the preferred choice for high-speed applications.

In summary, the 2036-35-C3 is a high-performance gas discharge tube arrester designed for high voltage overhead power systems. Its two closely-spaced electrodes and its turn-to-turn insulation are protected by a glass shell and filled with inert gas, which significantly reduces the risk of electric arcs. The 2036-35-C3 is rated for operations at 39kV and is used for a variety of applications including surge protection of power distribution networks, industrial control systems, and telecommunications systems.
