Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are commonly used in industrial, power, and telecommunications applications as surge protection devices. GDTs are typically seen with cylindrical glass housing filled with a dielectric gas mixture such as Argon, Krypton, or other mixtures that deionize during discharge. The primary function of the GDT is to protect equipment and personnel from the damaging effects of lightning and other transient voltage spikes. GTCR38-151M-Q10-FS belongs to this field.

Working principle: GTCR38-151M-Q10-FS utilizes gas filled tubes to interrupt current due to overvoltage. It applies the principle of Zener diodes in which the voltage breakdown period is much faster than a Zener diode as GDT has a very short, virtually instant breakdown time due to the gas inside it. The gas also causes current to flow in an opposite direction, thereby allowing for diverting the surge current away from sensitive equipment. GTCR38-151M-Q10-FS is configured as a shunt device, which means that it is connected in parallel with the equipment that needs to be protected.

Application field: GTCR38-151M-Q10-FS is used in protection of sensitive high-value equipment from lightning similar transient overvoltage. This type of GDT is often specified in industrial, power, and telecommunications applications. For industrial applications, the GDT provides surge protection for industrial control systems, computer and automation/information processing systems. In power systems, the GDT provides protection from lightning for the entire system, including the primary and secondary isolation transformers, line switches, and overhead. In telecommunications it is installed in both base stations and aerial lines.

In summary, the GTCR38-151M-Q10-FS belongs to the gas discharge tube arresters field and its working principle is based on a Zener diode principle as it relies on a gas-filled tube inside to rapidly breakdown potential overvoltage and divert the surge current away from sensitive equipment. It is utilized in protection of sensitive high-value equipment from lightning similar transient overvoltage and in telecommunications, industrial, and power system applications.
