Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are devices designed to protect sensitive electronic components from voltage shocks. They are a type of surge arrester, B88069X8860B502 being one of the most common. In this article we’ll discuss the application field of B88069X8860B502 and its working principle.

Application Terms

B88069X8860B502 is used to protect electrical and electronic equipment and apparatus from lightning surges, AC power line surges, and impulse surges generated either externally or internally. The device is typically employed in installations in wind turbines, radio and television networks and equipment, computer networks, alarms and security systems, and similar locations to protect valuable equipment from surges related to lightning.

B88069X8860B502 has an excellent protection life-span, long time performance and has a highly reliable and stable dielectric strength rating. It is suitable for hazardous locations and can be used in open-air installations or in enclosed systems.

Working Principle

The working principle of B88069X8860B502 involves two parts- spark gaps and spark mats. When a surge is detected, spark gaps and spark mats provide a low resistance path for the surge current to divert and thus protect sensitive electrical components. Spark gaps are a type of resistor, designed to handle high-current surges. These transfer high amounts of electric current away from the protected components when a surge is detected.

Spark mats are connected in series and act as a resistor for high voltage pulses. They are made of special material that provides low electrical losses when conducting high-voltage electrical pulses. The spark mats act like a cushion, slowing down the surge current, allowing it to be dissipated without damaging vulnerable electrical components.

GDTs provide excellent protection from lightning-induced surges without requiring a lightning rod or other protection devices. GDTs are designed with specific breakdown voltage and current ratings, so they do not actively respond to normal operating voltage or current levels, making them suitable for a variety of applications. GDTs also have a long life span, providing reliable protection from transient voltages and currents for many years.

Conclusion

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) is a type of surge arrester, commonly known as B88069X8860B502, used to protect electrical and electronic equipment and apparatus from lightning surges, AC power line surges, and impulse surges generated either externally or internally. GDTs provide reliable and stable protection from transient voltages and currents for many years and are suitable for hazardous locations and open-air installations.
