Most recently, Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDTs) have been gaining attention due to their increased use in industrial applications. This makes the CG33.3, a type of GDT arrester, a highly popular choice among engineers and technicians for applications handled by industrial control systems. Of course, the CG33.3 is one of the performance classes prescribed by IEEE for electrical equipment and systems, so it certainly meets the requirements for safety. The primary goal of GDTs, and the CG33.3 specifically, is to protect a system in the event of a surge pulse. To perform as designed, it must have an understanding of its working principle and be properly matched to the application.

Gas discharge tubes form the basis for surge protection and the CG33.3 is no exception. When a high voltage signal appears at the GDT, gas, typically SF6, inside the tube starts to conduct electricity. With its tremendous dielectric strength, it acts like an open switch, allowing current to bypass the protected circuit and ground; thus, surge pulses are diverted away from delicate equipment. How quickly a GDT responds and how much energy it can divert safely depends on its design.

When discussing GDTs, their nominal voltage must be considered. The CG33.3 is specifically designed for use in medium-voltage applications, where the voltage is between 1000-15000V. Below its MCOV, it will protect against transient overvoltage spikes. When an overvoltage occurs, the tube begins to conduct current with a fast response time, allowing the absorbed energy to be safely grounded. The current is then removed quickly, which means the CG33.3 will not affect the unaffected circuits.

The CG33.3 is also designed with some other features such as ripple current capability and a range of available sizes. Due to its fast response time, the CG33.3 can provide effective protection for applications such as power distribution, electric motors, photovoltaic installations, and telecommunications systems. Its rugged design makes it ideal for industrial environments where dust, dirt, and moisture are prevalent. The CG33.3 also has a long service life, so once it has been properly installed, it will rarely require maintenance or repairs.

In addition to its surge protection capabilities, the CG33.3 also provides filtering benefits. This is because the surge currents tend to flow along the inner layers of wires, cables, and other equipment. Thus, the GDT tube walls act as a filter by rejecting higher frequency signals that are commonly found in the environment. This means that the CG33.3 will reduce the chances of interference from outside sources such as radio signals.

One of the most important features of the CG33.3 is its ability to provide a secure connection between the equipment to be protected and the ground. This connection is achieved by using a special type of GDT terminal block design, which includes a mechanical ground connection and current-limiting fuses. These features ensure that the current from the unit being protected is safely grounded before the surge pulse can cause any damage.

The CG33.3 is designed to provide both safety and efficiency, and its performance characteristics make it an excellent choice for practically any medium-voltage application that requires surge protection. With its advanced design and reliable surge protection, the CG33.3 is a valuable addition to any modern industrial electrical system.
