Gas discharge tubes (GDTs) are a form of surge arrester that is used to protect electrical systems, wires and equipment from transient voltage surges. They are often found in areas that are prone to high levels of lightning activity, such as coastal cities and rural locations. The purpose of GDTs is to absorb, divert and shunt away surges in voltage before they can damage the system. The CG590LTR is a GDT product line from CG Power Systems, suitable for medium and high voltage protection applications.

There are a few different designs of GDT, each suitable for specific applications. The CG590LTR is classified as a radial-lead GDT, meaning it is designed to provide radial symmetry, allowing even current distribution over the entire area of the GDT. This scatter refractory effect is in contrast to axial-lead GDTs, which concentrate the current over a single point.

The CG590LTR range has three different voltage ratings – 8kV, 12kV and 16kV. These ratings correspond to the peak surge voltage that the GDT can withstand before it shuts down or fails. In addition to the voltage rating, the CG590LTR will also have a maximum current rating which will depend on the construction and design of the particular GDT. This maximum current rating is used to determine the correct size for the arrester.

The working principle of GDTs, such as the CG590LTR, is based on the principle of breakdown. When a surge of energy occurs, the voltage across the GDT will increase and reach a point where it will breakdown the dielectric material between the GDT’s two electrodes. It is at this point that the GDT will start to conduct current, diverting the surge away from the system.

The CG590LTR can be used in applications such as industrial facilities, solar farms and telecoms installations. It can be used in combination with other GDTs to create a complete protection and grounding system. It is also used as an alternative to SPDs (Surge Protection Devices) in some applications. It is important to note that the CG590LTR should only be used in systems where the voltage to ground is lower than the maximum rated voltage of the GDT, and the current is lower than its maximum rated current. It should also be noted that the CG590LTR should not be used on systems with continuing ground fault currents, as this can cause the GDT to blow.

The CG590LTR has a wide range of advantages over other GDTs on the market. It has high surge current handling capability and low power consumption, which reduces the overall cost of the system in the long run. It also has integrated shielding to protect it from external interference and humidity, which helps to extend its lifetime.

In conclusion, the CG590LTR is a reliable and cost-effective form of surge protection that is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its radial-lead design ensures even current distribution, and its integrated shielding offers effective protection against interference and humidity. It has a wide range of advantages over other GDTs, including high surge current handling capability and low power consumption.
