Working Principle

GTCS28-601M-R10-2 Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) consists of a metal oxide varistor (MOV) and a gas discharge tube (GDT). The MOV is a semiconductor device that is used to protect circuits against high-voltage transients. Its resistance decreases with increasing voltage. MOVs are non-linear and have nearly zero resistance at low voltages. When the voltage level exceeds a certain threshold, the MOV will conduct current to reduce the high voltage transient. The GDT is a device that is used to limit high voltages. It is made up of two electrodes within a glass-filled chamber that is filled with low-pressure gas. When the voltage level is high enough, the gas becomes ionized and produces an arc. This arc will conduct current to reduce the additional high voltage transient.

When a high-voltage transient occurs, the MOV will conduct current and provide the initial current-limiting clamp. During this process, the voltage across the GDT will increase until it reaches its breakdown voltage. At this stage, the gas within the GDT will become ionized, and the arc will conduct current to reduce the high voltage transient. These two components, the MOV and GDT, work together in reducing the high voltage transient until it falls safely below the nominal value.

Conclusion

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are widely used in telecommunication and power supplies. GTCS28-601M-R10-2 is one of the GDT series and consists of a metal oxide varistor (MOV) and a gas discharge tube (GDT). It works by using the MOV as the initial current limiting clamp, while the GDT provides the breakdown voltage necessary to protect the circuit from high-voltage transients. Therefore, it is important to choose the right GDT for the application at hand in order to provide the best protection against high-voltage transients.
