Introduction

Gas discharge tubes (GDT), also known as spark gaps, are a device used to protect electronics against voltage transients and surges. A GTCN28-231M-P15-FS is a particular type of GDT that is designed for microprocessor protection applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of this device.

Application Field of GTCN28-231M-P15-FS

The GTCN28-231M-P15-FS is designed for use in applications where protecting sensitive circuitry from transient voltages is desired. This type of gas discharge tube arrester is commonly used in microprocessor-based systems including computers, digital logic control systems, and integrated circuit memory systems. It can also be used to protect consumer electronics such as satellite receivers, Oscilloscopes, pump inverters, and high-end audio systems.

Working Principle of GTCN28-231M-P15-FS

Gas discharge tubes are designed to limit transient voltages entering a circuit. This is achieved by the device\'s ability to conduct a current when struck by high voltage, thus reducing or eliminating the effect of the voltage surge.The GTCN28-231M-P15-FS is composed of several components, including two conductive electrodes and a dielectric insulator. When a high voltage transient enters the GTCN28-231M-P15-FS, the electric field between the two electrodes increases and eventually causes the dielectric material between them to break down. This sparks a current conducting channel, known as an arc. This arc is capable of conducting a high current, thus raising its voltage level in relation to the rest of the system. This voltage is then diverted away from the sensitive components, offering protection.The GTCN28-231M-P15-FS also has several advantages over other types of protection devices. It is fast acting, reliable, and safe. It does not need any external components to function and can be used in a wide range of applications. The device is also small in size, making it convenient for a variety of installations.

Conclusion

The GTCN28-231M-P15-FS is a type of gas discharge tube arrester designed for applications where transient voltages may need to be diverted away from sensitive circuitry. The device is composed of two conductive electrodes and a dielectric insulator and works by creating an arc between the two electrodes when a voltage transient occurs that is capable of conducting away the transient voltage. The device is fast acting, reliable, and safe, and has several advantages which make it suitable for a wide range of applications.
