Gas Discharge Tube arresters are becoming increasingly popular in electronic and electrical protection systems due to their ability to provide lightning surge protection against a wide range of overvoltage transients. The type of gas discharge tube arrester most commonly used is the 2051-35-SM-RPLF. The purpose of this article is to discuss the application field and working principle of the 2051-35-SM-RPLF.

Application Field

The 2051-35-SM-RPLF is designed to provide protection against lightning transients in sensitive electronic and electrical equipment such as satellites, radar systems, telecommunications systems, and power systems. These types of gas discharge tube arresters are also used to protect equipment from overvoltage transients on exposed power lines, communication lines, and signal lines. The 2051-35-SM-RPLF is also designed to provide industrial process control systems with reliable protection against lightning transients. The 2051-35-SM-RPLF is designed to operate efficiently and safely in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C.

Working Principle

The 2051-35-SM-RPLF has an internal non-linear resistance component, which is usually formed by two or more electrodes. When a voltage is applied to the electrodes, an electric field is created between the electrodes. This electric field ionizes the surrounding air which forms a conducting path. The amount of current that is conducted through the path is determined by the temperature, pressure, and humidity of the surrounding air. As the voltage across the electrodes increases, the electric field strength increases as well, causing more current to be conducted through the path. The resistance of this path is non-linear, meaning that the current will start to decrease as the voltage increases.

When a lightning transient occurs, the voltage that is applied to the electrodes may be very high. The electric field strength becomes too high for the surrounding air to ionize, causing the current to become limited. This is known as the “breakdown voltage”. At this point, the 2051-35-SM-RPLF will begin to act as a current limiting device, reducing the current in the system to a safe level. This protects the system from any damage that may occur due to an overvoltage transient.

The 2051-35-SM-RPLF is a reliable and efficient device for providing protection against lightning transients. It is able to limit the amount of current in the system to a safe level, preventing any damage that may occur. The 2051-35-SM-RPLF is a cost-effective and durable solution for providing lightning surge protection.
