Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT)

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) or 8016960000 are devices used for lightning protection and surge protection. They are designed to protect electrical systems and components from sudden and intense voltage surges. The primary function of GDTs is to disperse the high voltages or currents before they can damage internal equipment. They are often used to protect circuits connected to outdoor antenna systems, transformers, power lines, and other high-voltage power supply systems.

8016960000 Application Field and Working Principle

GDTs are typically used in commercial, industrial and residential areas. This type of arrester can be designed to protect multiple types of systems, including communication systems, power systems, data centers, scientific instruments, and office equipment. GDTs are designed to divert excess voltages away from vulnerable components, limiting the magnitude and duration of the voltage applied to vulnerable equipment.

GDTs generally operate by acting as a resistor. When the voltage exceeds a certain threshold, the resistance of the GDT changes to divert the current away from the protected system. This prevents it from causing further damage to the equipment.

As well as preventing damage to electrical components, GDTs can protect the equipment from voltage and current spikes. These spikes may be due to lightning strikes, surges in the power network, or other reasons. By preventing the flow of current through the equipment, GDTs help to reduce maintenance and repair costs associated with electrical components.

The working principle of GDTs is based on the fact that when electric current passes through the resistor, it induces a strong electric field. This field helps divert the current away from the protected system, preventing damage caused by high voltage levels. In addition, GDTs can also be used to protect against static discharges, which can also damage sensitive electrical components.

GDTs are easy to install and require little maintenance. Furthermore, GDTs are relatively low-cost and can provide reliable protection from lightning and other power surges. Together, these features make GDTs an attractive choice for businesses looking for effective and economical solutions to protect their critical equipment.
