Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are used to protect electrical circuits from voltage spikes caused by lightning or power surges. GDTs are made up of a spark gap and a Zener diode, and can be connected across the terminals of an electrical circuit. The GDT serves to protect the electric circuits from overvoltage transients, which can cause permanent damage to the system. The GDT absorbs the energy from a transient voltage spike and dissipates it by breaking down the spark gap and controlling the current flow through the Zener diode.

The GTCA26-351M-R05 is a lightning arrester designed to help protect from lightning strikes. It is a 30 kA surge current, 8/20 μs waveform compatible Metal-Oxide Varistor (MOV). The GDT comprises of a Glass Tube Arrester (GTA) and a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV), which are the two main components of the GDT. The GTA absorbs the lightnings energy and dissipates it through its spark gap. The MOV helps to absorb excess energy and regulate the current flow. In order to ensure that no external interference occurs during operation, the MOV is temperate stable up to 200 degrees Celsius.

The working principle of the GTCA26-351M-R05 is simple. It consists of two main components, a glass tube arrester and a metal oxide varistor. As a voltage transient occurs, the GTA component will break down and the MOV will contain the energy. The MOV has a non-linear characteristic that helps to regulate the current flow and absorb the excess energy. The MOV also helps to isolate the arrester from the power supply. When the transient voltage enters the arrester, it is passed through the MOV and dissipated without damaging the rest of the circuit.

The GTCA26-351M-R05 is suitable for use in applications with higher lightning strike intensity, and is able to protect electrical equipment from surges of up to 30 kA. The arrester is designed for indoor and outdoor applications, and is suitable for industrial, commercial, and residential applications. It is ideally suited for use in AC or DC power systems, and can be connected to the ground at either the primary or secondary side of the transformer.

The GTCA26-351M-R05 is also suitable for use in applications requiring surge suppression with series connection. The series connection allows the GTCA26-351M-R05 to work in combination with other MOV arresters, providing additional protection for sensitive electrical equipment. This is particularly useful in locations where there are a high number of lightning strikes or other types of power surges.

In conclusion, the GTCA26-351M-R05 is a type of Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) designed to help protect from lightning strikes and other voltage transients. It features a spark gap and a MOV which help to regulate the current flow and absorb the excess energy from the transient. It is suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor applications and is designed for AC or DC power systems. It is also able to be connected in series with other MOV arresters in order to provide additional protection for sensitive electrical equipment.
