Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) have made considerable advances in recent years, with the development of the 2063-70-ALF. It has been designed to provide a unique range of protection against over-voltages in power systems. The 2063-70-ALF is an air-based, statically protected, direct current (DC) lightning arrester.

The primary function of the 2063-70-ALF is to protect electrical equipment connected to or running on a direct current power system. It uses two series-connected gas discharge tubes (GDTs) to create an air gap. When a surge or overvoltage is applied to the GDT, an electrical arc will jump across the gap and act as a short-circuit for the applied surge or overvoltage.

The 2063-70-ALF has two main applications, one for lightning protection and the other for over-voltage protection. For lightning protection, it acts as a “break” in the electrical system. This will allow any overvoltage or surge to pass through the air gap between the two GDTs without causing damage. The device automatically resets itself after the surge is cleared, allowing normal operation to continue. Alternatively, the 2063-70-ALF can also be used for over-voltage protection. By creating a short circuit across the GDTs, it will act as an open circuit and block any excessive voltages from entering the system.

The 2063-70-ALF works on the principle of static charge. The two GDTs are completely discharged before the arrester is installed and no contacting parts or mechanical settings are required. This makes maintenance of the device easier. The device also features a “break-before-make” mechanism, which senses when the GDTs have reached their peak static charge level and then deliberately “breaks” the current path.

The 2063-70-ALF is 99.99 percent reliable and has a long-term endurance of over 10 years. Its components are self-monitoring and the device is easily accessible once installed. Its long-term effectiveness is increased by its ability to monitor itself and constantly reset its static charge levels. Further, the device is resistant to most types of pollution and high temperatures. Additionally, it requires minimal space, allowing it to fit into most pathways.

The 2063-70-ALF has proven to be an efficient and affordable solution for both lightning and over-voltage protection. Its static charge protection mechanism ensures that it will continue to perform as designed for many years. As a result, it is an excellent option for many power systems.
