Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT)

A Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) arrester (also known as a surge arrester) is an electrical device designed to protect electrical systems and components from damage or destruction due to transient overvoltage caused by external or internal disturbances. GDT arresters are commonly used in a wide variety of applications, from residential facilities to industrial power centers.The GTCA28-501M-R10 arrester is a UL Listed and RoHS compliant surge arrester that is suitable for use in residential and light-to-medium commercial environments. The arrester is rated at 10kA and offers energy absorption capabilities up to 20kA. The GTCA28-501M-R10 arrester is designed to protect equipment against surges caused by lightning strikes, power outages, and other transients.The GTCA28-501M-R10 arrester works by diverting excess current to the ground, thus preventing the flow of excessive energy back into sensitive equipment. This type of arrester has four components: an outer ceramic shell, a current-limiting resistor, a metal spark gap, and an inner shell which contains a gas discharge tube (GDT) to provide the switching action necessary to divert the voltage to the ground.In operation, when a surge of voltage enters the GTCA28-501M-R10 arrester, it passes through the current-limiting resistor. If the surge exceeds the arrester rating, a spark will jump across the spark gap, creating a high-voltage arc. This arc travels through the GDT, creating a low impedance path to the ground. As a result, the surge is diverted away from the protected equipment and discharged safely to the ground.The GTCA28-501M-R10 arrester is used in a wide range of applications, from residential homes to light commercial areas. It is especially useful in areas prone to lightning strikes and power outages, as it is designed to provide superior surge protection. Additionally, the arrester is designed to be compatible with most power distribution systems, and can easily be wired in to existing power systems without the need for professional installation. This surge arrester is also designed to be low maintenance, as it can be tested with a homemade testing device. This testing device consists of hooking up two Ohm meters, one at each end of the device, and then monitoring for any increase in resistance. If the resistance increases, it is an indication that the GTCA28-501M-R10 arrester needs to be replaced.Overall, the GTCA28-501M-R10 arrester is a reliable and affordable surge arrester that is suitable for protecting a wide variety of electrical systems and components. It is easy to install and test, and offers superior protection against transient overloads. As such, it is an ideal choice for residential and light commercial applications.
