2037-20-B5 Circuit Protection

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are a type of electrical protection that utilizes a semi-conductor junction to limit transients on the power line. The GDT is composed of a dielectric material, a semiconductor junction, a gas filled tube, and a conductor. When transient voltage increases on the power line, the voltage reaches the breakdown point of the dielectric material, causing ionization of the gas within the tube. As a result, current will flow through the GDT, limiting the voltage on the power line and protecting the electrical equipment connected.

The 2037-20-B5 GDT is a type of Gas Discharge Tube Arrester which uses a special type of dielectric material, along with a specific type of gas. The dielectric material used in the arrester is a bismuth oxide-based ceramic, and the type of gas used is a non-flammable gas mixture which is designed to limit transients during a voltage surge. The bismuth oxide also aids in enhancing the insulation properties of the arrester by increasing the breakdown voltage.

The 2037-20-B5 GDT is designed to operate with the principle of limiting high potential transients, or voltage surge. When an overvoltage occurs, the gas inside the tube ionizes, and the voltage is reduced to a non-damaging level. The arrester operates by providing a path for current flow to pass through the gas tube, thereby limiting the voltage on the power line. By reducing the voltage on the power line, the current is then dissipated to a safe level and will not damage the electrical equipment connected.

The 2037-20-B5 GDT has been specifically designed for use in industrial processes, particularly in high-voltage applications. Its dielectric material is suitable for high-voltage operation, and its gas-filled tube ensures the absorption of any high potential transient surges. This makes it ideal for use in electrical power systems, where it can protect electrical equipment from the effects of transients and voltage surges. It is also suitable for applications such as communications systems, AC/DC drives and PLCs, motor control, and lighting systems.

The 2037-20-B5 GDT is a simple and reliable device for preventing high potential transients. It is designed for easy installation, and its operation is simple and cost-effective. Its design also ensures a minimum amount of downtime, as it can be removed and replaced without affecting the operation of the electrical system. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide variety of electrical applications.
