CG21000MS

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are components that are used mainly in the power industry and they are designed for the purpose of protecting electrical equipment. GDTs consist of a gas filled tube which contains electrodes, an insulating medium, and a conductor of electricity. The GDT is designed as an open and self-restoring device. It works by dissipating any overvoltage that may be induced on the power system.

CG21000MS is a type of GDT that is specially designed for medium voltage applications. It is suitable for use in installations with an operating voltage up to 21 kV. It has a surge capability of 106 J pulses and an impulse current of up to 100 kA.

The working principle of the CG21000MS Gas Discharge Tube is fairly simple. When an overvoltage condition is present, the GDT is designed to break down the insulation of the insulation medium and the electrodes, thus providing a path of least resistance for the excess current. This results in the GDT dissipating the excess energy. Once the overvoltage is no longer present, the GDT is self-restoring and ready to protect again.

CG21000MS Gas Discharge Tubes are suitable for installation in a wide range of medium voltage applications. These include renewable energy systems, power distribution lines, transformers, switchgear, and data communication systems. The rugged design of the GDT makes it suitable for use in outdoor environments and it can be installed in a wide range of environmental conditions. The GDT is also designed to be maintenance free, which makes it ideal for use in installations where access for maintenance is restricted.

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDTs) are an essential part of any medium voltage power system installation. They are designed to protect the equipment and ensure that power is delivered with maximum safety and reliability. The CG21000MS Gas Discharge Tube is specially designed for medium voltage applications and is suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions. It is rugged, maintenance free, and can dissipate overvoltage quickly and effectively.
