Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are a special type of electrical equipment designed to protect sensitive equipment from damage due to overvoltage transients. The GTCS35-231M-R05 is one example of a GDT designed for use in residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, and utility applications. In this article, we will discuss the application field and working principle of the GTCS35-231M-R05.

The GTCS35-231M-R05 is a medium voltage trans-zone GDT designed for residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, and utility applications. It can be used for three-phase 230/340 KV lightning protection or as a Compact Service Interrupter (CSI) in areas such as the Netherlands and other Scandinavian countries where voltages may change quickly. Additionally, it is ideal for applications such as power grid switching, lightning protection, power lines, and wind farms.

The GTCS35-231M-R05 is an all-weather GDT that is designed to handle a variety of environmental conditions. It is UL824/844 approved and is designed to withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to +55°C. Additionally, its metal oxide varistor (MOV) technology allows it to handle frequent surge currents of 15 kA (8/20 μs) for 85 kV applications.

The GTCS35-231M-R05 has two main components: a shunt-like gas discharge tube (GDT) and an embedded movable element. The GDT act as a protective device that conducts excess current away from the system. It is composed of a current limiting resistor (CLR) that is triggered when overvoltage occurs due to a surge in voltage. When the voltage exceeds a certain range, an arc is created within the tube, and current is quickly discharged across the tube, thereby limiting the amount of surge voltage reaching sensitive equipment.

The MOVable element, which consists of multiple series of inter-metal oxide varistors (MOVs), works in conjunction with the GDT to provide overvoltage protection. MOVs are composed of ceramic layers with conductive metal particles sandwiched within them. When an overvoltage occurs, the MOVs introduce a low impedance path that limits the voltage reaching the protected equipment. The MOVs will maintain their voltage rating even after multiple surges, making them the most reliable form of overvoltage protection for the GTCS35-231M-R05.

In conclusion, the GTCS35-231M-R05 gas discharge tube arrester is an all-weather GDT designed for residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, and utility applications. It is UL824/844 approved and can withstand temperatures from -40°C to +55°C. Its two main components – the shunt-like gas discharge tube and the embedded movable element – provide fast and reliable overvoltage protection.
