Gas discharge tube arresters (GDT) are an essential part of any operating environment, providing protection from hazardous high voltages, surges, lightning strikes, and electrical noise. The GTCC23-141M-R01-2 is a compact rectangular metal-oxide varistor (MOV) arrester designed to protect against over and under voltage situations, with a maximum continuous operating voltage of 8 kV.

A GDT arrester is basically a sealed device filled with a noble gas, such as argon or nitrogen, and a gap between two metal electrodes. The electrodes are composed of two different metals with different work functions, allowing them to act as the external terminals of the device when connected to a source of voltage. When voltage is applied, a spark is created by a low-intensity current that flows between the two electrodes.

The gap between the two electrodes forms a medium for increasing the current until it reaches a breakdown voltage. When the voltage exceeds this threshold, a spark gap occurs, resulting in a rapid reduction in the current flow. This rapid change in current is what allows a GDT arrester to protect from over or under voltages.

The GTCC23-141M-R01-2 is designed for use in applications where low continuous operating voltages are typically encountered, such as telecom and industrial control systems, motor control centers, and inverters. Its superior surge protection capabilities make it an effective protector in the event of large voltage spikes from nearby lightning strikes or power line faults.

The arrester works on the principle of a metal-oxide varistor, where a semiconductor material with a variable resistivity is organized in a unipolar structure. This allows the device to have a lower breakdown voltage and higher current handling capability than traditional GDT devices. When a voltage spike exceeds the breakdown voltage of the device, the material’s resistivity decreases and the device begins to conduct, diverting the excess current away from the equipment.

When the voltage returns to a safe level, the resistivity of the material increases, restoring the device to its previous state and allowing normal current to flow. This process happens in nanoseconds, ensuring fast and effective protection for the equipment.

The GTCC23-141M-R01-2 is an excellent choice for low-voltage applications due to its high surge protection capability and low-power consumption characteristics. This device will provide reliable protection to any system in which it is installed, making it a solid choice for a variety of low-voltage applications.
