GTCC23-201M-R01-2

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are a type of surge protection device designed to protect electrical circuits from voltage transients. They act as a short-term surge arrestor, providing a high current capacity and rapid clearance of ground fault current.

The GTCC23-201M-R01-2 is a GDT that is specifically designed for power applications with AC overloads. It features a highly accurate and reliable MOV (metal oxide varistor) technology which offers the highest voltage and current ratings available. The device is UL, CSA and CE approved.

The GTCC23-201M-R01-2 has two main components: a MOV and a spark gap. The MOV is a metal-oxide-varistor which is a semiconductor component. It is designed to short-circuit any abnormal surge current and store it, thereby protecting the connected equipment from overvoltage damage. The MOV operates by conducting a small amount of current until a preset level is reached. This preset level is set by the GDT manufacturer. The spark-gap acts as a resistive element to regulate the discharge of the MOV when it is connected to the power line.

In operation, the GTCC23-201M-R01-2 acts as a secondary protection device to provide additional protection in the event of an overvoltage. When the device senses a voltage transient, such as a lightning strike, it will activate in microseconds to clear the overvoltage. This rapid, reliable response ensures the protection of the connected equipment and keeps related downtime to a minimum.

The GTCC23-201M-R01-2 is designed primarily for power applications and is ideal for use in industrial, commercial and residential settings. It is often used in wiring networks, telecommunications equipment, electrical systems and other applications where overvoltage protection is critical.

In conclusion, the GTCC23-201M-R01-2 is a reliable GDT with a proven MOV technology for power applications. Its rapid response and accuracy makes it an ideal solution for protection against voltage transients and overloads.
