2046-25-ALF

A Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDTs) are a type of high voltage insulator that helps to protect a circuit from high voltage, electrical or lightning transients. These are a part of the surge arrester family, and a key element of power system protection. GDTs are part of the ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) circuit family. GDTs contain an arc discharge of gas inside the device. The gas is typically nitrogen or sulfur hexafluoride. The discharge of gas helps to protect a circuit against a high voltage transient.

The 2046-25-ALF GDT was designed to meet specific performance requirements. This device is intended to be used in applications with high voltages (up to 25 kV). The 2046-25-ALF GDT is designed to protect circuits against single-pulse transients, including those caused by lightning, short-circuit, or overturned high-impedance inductors. This device also helps to limit excessive current flow and reduce the voltage transients that can damage sensitive electronics.

The 2046-25-ALF GDT also includes various features that enable it to better protect the power system. First, it features an internal glass housing that can withstand high voltage transients and help to reduce risk of arcing between the components. Second, the device features a reverse blocking protection that prevents incoming surge pulses from reaching the circuit, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the circuit by overvoltage spikes.

The working principle behind the 2046-25-ALF GDT is based on an arc-discharge mechanism. When a surge or high voltage transient is detected, the device triggers a mechanical mechanism that releases a pulsating arc of gas between two electrodes. This arc allows the device to absorb the incoming electrical surge, thereby providing protection to the power system. The arc also helps to limit the amount of current passing through the device and helps to protect the other components in the circuit.

In addition, the 2046-25-ALF GDT has a number of features that help to enhance its protection capabilities. The device includes a range of arc-discharge interrupt times, as well as adjustable overvoltage limiters. This helps to ensure that the device is able to respond quickly and efficiently to transients, and can protect a power system from a sudden voltage change or surge.

The 2046-25-ALF GDT provides an ideal solution for applications with high voltages and where power system protection is critical. The device is designed to provide robust protection against voltage transients, helping to ensure that sensitive electronic equipment and circuits are not damaged. With its light weight and low-profile design, it is also suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications. Moreover, the device has been designed to meet strict safety requirements, helping to ensure that it can be used in most environments.
