2049-09-BT1LF

Gas Discharge Tube arresters (GDT) are an important component of many electrical systems and gaining in popularity due to their ability to protect from sustained currents caused by fault currents. GDTs are designed to detect an increase in voltage in the electrical system and redirect the excess current through the GDT into a resistor. This operation creates a surge that can be dissipated safely without the need to replace any components.

The 2049-09-BT1LF is a unique GDT that is designed to perform two distinct functions. First, it is designed to act as a fuse by providing surge protection when exposed to a high-voltage shock. Secondly, the 2049-09-BT1LF can be used to provide over-voltage protection.

The 2049-09-BT1LF is a gas discharge tube arrester capable of withstanding direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) electrical surges. The GDT is constructed of two chambers filled with a special gas mix. In normal operating conditions, the GDT will act as an insulator for the electrical system. However, when an unexpected voltage increase is detected, the internal gas mix will ignite and act as a fuse, redirecting the voltage surge away from sensitive electrical components.

The 2049-09-BT1LF also functions as an over-voltage protection device. Unlike fuse-based over-voltage protection systems, the 2049-09-BT1LF will not be permanently degraded by the overload. Instead, the 2049-09-BT1LF is designed to absorb the excessive voltage, allowing the rest of the system to remain intact.

The 2049-09-BT1LF is ideally suited for applications such as power line protection, mobile base transceiver station protection, and power supply protection. Additionally, the GDT can be used in harsh environments such as in industrial applications where high levels of corrosion resistance are required.

In summary, the 2049-09-BT1LF gas discharge tube arrester is designed to provide both surge and over-voltage protection. The arrester is composed of two chambers filled with a special gas mix and is capable of withstanding direct current and alternating current surges. The GDT is suitable for a variety of applications, including power line, base transceiver station, and power supply protection. It is also designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions and be corrosion-resistant.
