CG32.0LTR

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT)

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are used to protect circuit components and other elements from damage due to lightning and other transient voltage spikes. They’re components with a specialized function that protect connected electronic equipment from the impact of transient voltage. Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are used extensively in areas ranging from power systems, electric vehicles, buildings, power plants, and industrial applications, allowing for effective and efficient protection from unexpected voltage transients.

CG32.0LTR Application Field and Working Principle

CG32.0LTR is a light-triggered Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) gas discharge tube designed for industrial and telecommunication applications. The biggest advantage of this product is its excellent performance in fast strike mode. Most MOVs on the market can only consider a certain degree of lightning current when instantaneously struck by a lightning event, whereas CG32.0LTR can withstand a lightning current of up to 32 kA, allowing it to be utilized in the most demanding and critical applications.

CG32.0LTR is able to do this by utilizing a dedicated light sensor that enables it to respond quickly to a lightning event. When the light sensor is activated by a lightning current, the CG32.0LTR is able to trigger its own flashover gas filled chamber, and then effectively absorb and dissipate the energy of the lightning current while protecting the connected circuit components from any damage.

CG32.0LTR also features a low leakage current when operating at normal environmental conditions and a wide frequency range of between 8 kHz and 20 MHz. Furthermore, it is designed with a resilient construction to ensure long-term reliability and high performance during use.

In conclusion, the CG32.0LTR is an excellent choice for lightning protection applications due to its instantaneity in reacting to a lightning event and its ability to absorb a large amount of energy. It is ideal for industrial and telecommunication applications that are particularly prone to lightning damage, and its outstanding performance and reliability make it a popular option for use in such areas.
