2039-110-SMLF

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are designed to safely divert high voltage surges to ground. They monitor high voltage cables for overvoltage conditions, protecting cable systems from damage by discharging it directly to ground. GDTs consist of a gas-filled chamber, with a central cathode and an outer anode.

GDTs are typically used in applications where high voltage surges must be safely diverted to ground. This includes electricity transmission lines, telecommunications systems, RF transmitters, and other similar applications. GDTs are also used in high-voltage surge suppression devices for personal electronics, such as cell phones and laptops.

The specific type of GDT used in the 2039-110-SMLF application field is a gas-filled, two-electrode gas-discharge tube. This GDT design contains a single-metal oxide-filled gas chamber, with its central cathode and an outer anode connected to a surge protector. When subjected to a high voltage surge, the electronics inside the chamber react, creating a high-voltage spark that discharges the surge to ground.

The working principle of the 2039-110-SMLF GDT is fairly simple. When the tube is subjected to a high voltage surge, the electrons in the chamber accelerate and collide with the cathode. This collision ionizes the air inside the chamber, creating a plasma discharge. The ionized air absorbs the surge energy, discharging it to ground. As a result, the surge is safely and efficiently diverted away from the system’s components.

In summary, GDTs are essential tools for safely fielding high voltage surges, and they are especially useful in applications such as high-voltage cable systems, telecommunications and RF transmitters. The 2039-110-SMLF GDTs are ideal for these types of applications, and use a simple yet effective working principle to divert high voltage surge energy to ground.
