2037-60-BLF

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are a type of overvoltage protection devices used to limit the voltage spikes caused by lightning and power system switching. The 2037-60-BLF GDT is a three level monopolar overvoltage protection unit designed for the protection of urban and rural telephone networks, equipment, and power supplies. The 2037-60-BLF GDT utilizes a closed zener diode technology combined with a gas discharge tube (GDT) to divert overvoltage energy away from equipment before it is able to damage it.

The 2037-60-BLF GDT is designed to provide protection for signaling, transmission, and power systems. It has a wide voltage range from 250 to 400 volts and is UL listed for operation at up to 400 volts. The device is rated at a maximum peak surge current of 15 kA with a maximum discharge current of 200 A. It also features a fast response time of less than 1 ms, which helps to protect equipment from lightning phenomena.

The 2037-60-BLF GDT is designed for low frequency applications, as it is limited in frequency response. Its primary use is in high impedance applications, as its low frequency characteristics result in a limited voltage range. The device is able to handle high energy, but it is limited in its capacity for high frequency applications due to its limited ability to store energy.

The 2037-60-BLF GDT works by first, absorbing energy from high voltage spikes before it is able to reach protected equipment. Second, it discharges this energy into a resistor to reduce the voltage to an acceptable level. Finally, it isolates the protected equipment from the surge by providing a direction path for the current to travel. The 2037-60-BLF GDT has three adjustable settings: off, slow, and fast. Each setting is designed to tailor the unit\'s response to the characteristics of each particular protection application.

The 2037-60-BLF GDT is a reliable and efficient means of overvoltage protection. Its combination of fast response time, wide voltage range, and a resistant design make it suitable for use in task-critical applications. It is UL listed and RoHS compliant, and is designed to meet MIL-STD 883 and IEC60223 standards.
