GTCN26-351M-P05-B

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are a type of surge protection device which can protect electronic circuits from large voltage spikes which can lead to catastrophic failures. The GTCN26-351M-P05-B is one such device, offering defenses against lightning and other transient voltage events. This paper will discuss the application field of the GTCN26-351M-P05-B, and its working principle.

The GTCN26-351M-P05-B is an energy-controlled, low-voltage gas discharge tube that can be used in both outdoor and indoor applications, and is especially suited for protection of communication and industrial equipment. It is suitable for use in DC protections up to 48V and AC protections up to 890V, and is able to withstand temperatures of -55°C to 85°C. As it needs no additional fuel or other consumables, it is safe and efficient for long-term use.

The GTCN26- 351M-P05-B works in two ways to protect electronic circuits. First, when an over-voltage event is encountered, its sensitive discharge tube will fire, limiting the voltage spike and subsequently activating its integrated thermal fuse. This in turn will short-circuit the voltage surge, preventing it from entering the underlying electronic circuits. This protection mode is known as ‘active discharge’.

In addition, the GTCN26-351M-P05-B also has a ‘fail-safe’ mode, in which a precision resistor is interposed between the surge and underlying circuit, resulting in a controlled release of the surge voltage. This is effective as it prevents any permanent damage to sensitive devices and provides excellent protection over and above the active discharge mode.

The GTCN26-351M-P05-B is a reliable device, and when used correctly, it is able to provide effective protection for electrical circuits in both indoor and outdoor applications. Its long-term reliability and low profile size make it a very popular choice for protection of computer and industrial equipment. In conclusion, the GTCN26-351M-P05-B is a reliable and efficient surge protector, with a wide application range and effective working principle.
