Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are an advanced form of surge protection technology commonly used in electrical power grids and related equipment. GDTs are composed of a gas-filled, metal-encased tube that provides insulation up to a certain voltage and protects against electrical surges and spikes. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the 2056-40-B2FLF GDT.

Application Field

2056-40-B2FLF GDTs are used in various industries, typically to protect AC and DC power systems in harsh environments. These GDTs are suitable for the protection of junction points, control circuits, MV and LV circuits, and communication systems. These GDTs are also often used to provide power flow control and power system reliability in industrial, commercial or residential applications. In addition, they can be deployed in electronics systems, medical devices, automotive applications, and more.

Working Principle

Essentially, 2056-40-B2FLF GDTs act as a semiconductor switch when exposed to high voltages or currents. When the surge voltage exceeds the specified rating of the device, it passes through the GDT as an electrical current, which in turn causes the Argon and other inert gases to ionize and create a conducting path to the ground. This “discharge” prevents the surge current from reaching the sensitive electrical equipment connected to the system. The GDT then quickly returns to its normal state and is ready to respond to any subsequent surges.

When used in combination with other surge protection devices, such as MOVs or RC networks, GDTs can protect against high-frequency transient voltages. This is because GDTs tend to be particularly effective in dissipating very low-energy transients of high frequency. However, GDTs-alone are not a complete solution to surge protection, and therefore, high-impedance and multi-stage surge protection systems are often used in addition to GDTs.

Conclusion

In summary, GDTs play an important role in providing surge protection for industrial, commercial, and residential power systems. The 2056-40-B2FLF GDTs are suitable for a variety of applications, including AC and DC power systems, junction points, control circuits, MV and LV circuits, communication systems, and more. This GDT is able to effectively respond to a wide range of electrical transients, protecting sensitive electronic systems from damage. Finally, GDTs should always be used in combination with other surge protection devices for optimal protection.
