Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are electrical components that protect electrical and electronic systems from high frequency transients. The CG2300LS is an example of a GDT. This specific device is equipped with dual Varistors (MOVs) to neutralize transient voltages, while the GDT component itself reduces surges and transients to a low-voltage level.

The CG2300LS is an ideal solution for low-to-medium voltage applications, e.g. telecommunications systems, power distribution systems, industrial automation systems, surge protection systems, and instrumentation. It is also suitable for outdoor applications because of its robust plastic enclosures and protection from lightning transients. The CG2300LS is designed to absorb up to 2300 volts without failing or allowing a current surge to pass the protected electrical component. Its dual metal oxide varistors (MOVs) provide excellent protection against lightning and power line surges.

The working principle of GDTs is quite simple. When the voltage reaches a predetermined level, the air between the two electrodes ionizes and breaks down into an arc capable of conducting current. This arc is then quickly extinguished as soon as the voltage drops below its critical level. Since the arc requires a certain level of voltage and a spark gap that can be crossed by the transient, the GDT operates with a higher impedance when a smaller spark of current occurs. The spark gap current between the electrodes then amplifies the current by a few nanoseconds, which is sufficient to protect the equipment.

Gas Discharge Tubes (GDTs), like the CG2300LS, are widely used to protect electrical and electronic systems from surges and transients, and to ensure reliable operation in harsh environments. GDTs are usually integrated with other protective elements such as Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) to ensure the best possible protection. GDTs are extremely cost-effective and easy to install, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. With the CG2300LS, customers benefit from a protective device that can effectively withstand transients up to 2300 volts.
