CG2350LSNTE

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are used to protect electric equipment from voltage transients and other overvoltage occurrence. GDT works by creating an electrical path, allowing excessive electricity to be dispersed instead of going through the protected equipment. It can either limit the voltage or act as a direct path to the ground. One of the most widely used GDT is the CG2350LSNTE. This article aims to discuss the applications field and the working principle of the CG2350LSNTE.

Applications field

The CG2350LSNTE is suitable in different applications due to the excellent sparkover voltage characteristics, small size and lightweight construction. It is mainly used in power networks, transmission and distribution lines, power plants and other electrical equipments.The CG2350LSNTE provides a low cost solution for protecting electronic devices, telecommunication lines and other electrical equipments from over-voltage transients. It is also suitable in outdoor applications such as lightning protection for high voltage networks, trains, power plants, automobiles and ships.The CG2350LSNTE is designed to operate under different environmental conditions and temperatures, thus providing reliable protection from voltage surges.

Working Principle

The working principle of the CG2350LSNTE is based on a Gas Discharge Tube (GDT). A GDT is a device which is composed of two electrodes which are sealed in a glass tube. One electrode is connected to the protected electronic equipment, while the other electrode is grounded. As the voltage applied to the GDT exceeds a certain threshold, a spark occurs between the two electrodes, and the arc that is created weaves along the inside of the tube. The high voltage is then released in a controlled way into the ground.The CG2350LSNTE also includes a discharge resistor which is used to limit the current that flows from the protected equipment to the ground. The resistance value is designed to be low enough to allow the spark to continue, yet high enough to protect the equipment from overcurrents.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the CG2350LSNTE is a Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) which is used to protect electronic equipments against excessive voltages. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, and its working principle is based on a spark discharge between two electrodes, which are connected to the protected equipment and grounded. The CG2350LSNTE also includes a discharge resistor in order to limit the current that flows from the protected equipment to the ground.
