Gas Discharge Tube arresters (GDT) are widely used in modern electronic applications and are an important part of an effective grounding system. These versatile devices protect lines, switches, meters, and other critical components from high-voltage spikes and surges. A GDT can provide reliable disconnection and support current-limiting functions, having a much better high-voltage performance when compared to other types of surge arresters. The CG5550 is a prime example of a GDT arrestor.The CG5550 is a compact device that provides long-term reliability and safety to a variety of different applications. Its main purpose is to reduce the risk of electrical fires, explosions, and short circuits caused by overvoltage protection. It has the ability to disconnect from the line and support a current-limiting function, absorbing surges larger than its rated voltage but far below the levels that could otherwise put the equipment at risk.The working principle of the CG5550 is based on electrical breakdown of a gas gap. When the pulse wave on the protective line rises higher than the rated voltage of the GDT, the device is activated and its metal carbide rod breaks down. This creates a very small arc, allowing the stored energy to dissipate into the atmosphere. The device quickly returns to the rest state after the surge has passed, allowing normal operation to resume.The CG5550 is well suited for applications such as distribution networks, industrial automation, and motor control. It can also be used in communications systems, such as broadcasting, CATV, and telecommunication. The device is able to absorb extremely high voltages, up to 8kV, and suppress the wave fronts of pulses up to 6kV.The CG5550 offers several advantages over other GDT arrestors. Its unique design significantly reduces the risk of shorts, while its high-voltage performance protects the components within the system. In addition, the CG5550 can handle longer discharge times than other GDTs, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and equipment repairs. Finally, the CG5550 is completely sealed, making it perfect for harsh environments.The CG5550 is an essential component of any electrical system, as it ensures the safe operation of sensitive components and serves as a reliable surge protector. Its wide range of applications and excellent high-voltage performance set it apart from other types of surge arresters, making it a must-have for all types of systems.
