Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT)

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDTs) are widely used for the protection of electrical equipment against lightning and other forms of overvoltage transient. GDTs are a type of transient voltage suppressor (TVS) that are designed to absorb the energy of a transient voltage spike and dissipate it as heat, thereby protecting the equipment against the damaging effects of power surges. The 2037-60-B GDT is a particular type of GDT which has been developed for use in a range of applications. In this article, we will look at the application field and working principle of the 2037-60-B GDT.

Application Field of 2037-60-B GDTs

The 2037-60-B GDT is designed primarily for use in power transmission systems, both on and off the power grid. Its capabilities make it suitable for a range of applications, from primary lightning protection to secondary insulation monitoring and control.In terms of power transmission systems, the 2037-60-B GDT is primarily used in medium-voltage switchgear involving currents of up to 10 kA. It has also been used in power grids at voltages up to 10 kV. In addition, the 2037-60-B GDT has also been used in equipment subject to transient overvoltages, for example telecommunications equipment, medical equipment, and computer systems.

Working Principle of 2037-60-B GDTs

GDTs operate on the principle of spark-gap breakdown. When a voltage spike exceeding the breakdown voltage of the GDT is applied, a spark forms across the electrodes of the device, allowing current to pass through. This current passes through a resistance element within the device and is then reduced and dissipated in the form of heat. This process limits the voltage seen by the equipment and provides a form of protection against transient overvoltages.The 2037-60-B GDT is designed to be highly efficient, with a breakdown voltage of 10kV and a discharge current carrying capacity of up to 10kA. The device is designed to fail to the ‘off’ state when the condition is over, which limits the amount of damage to the protected equipment due to the transient overvoltage.

Conclusion

The 2037-60-B GDT is a highly efficient and reliable GDT designed for the protection of power transmission systems and other equipment subject to transients. Its characteristics make it suitable for a range of applications, including primary lightning protection and insulation monitoring for medium voltage systems. The device operates on the principle of spark gap breakdown, enabling it to carry current and dissipate it as heat when subjected to transient voltages. This process enables the device to limit the voltages seen by the protected equipment and provide a form of protection from transient overvoltages.
