Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are a type of electrical components used in power systems to protect the electrical circuits and equipment from surge voltages. This protection helps avoid damage caused by electrical surges that can result in problems ranging from power outages to complete system failures. One type of GDT is the SL0902A090SM, which is commonly used in power systems. This article reviews the SL0902A090SM application field and working principle.

The SL0902A090SM GDT is a surge protection device used for power electronic systems. It is designed to provide protection against voltage spikes, also called transients, which can occur due to an increase in the voltage levels on power lines. It is suitable for applications that require operation of power electronic systems in environments where surges in electricity or surges in voltage are a frequent occurrence. Examples of such applications include telecommunications systems, medical equipment, computers, industrial automation, electric motor controls, and various other power electronic systems.

The SL0902A090SM GDT is comprised of a metal case, a resistor, a capacitor, and a spark gap. The metal case provides physical protection for the internal components. The resistor reduces the increase in current during an overvoltage, and the capacitor stores energy for later use in releasing it in case of an overvoltage. The spark gap is used to trigger the discharge.

The SL0902A090SM GDT works by limiting and diverting surge voltages away from sensitive electronic components in the system when a surge is detected. When connected to an electrical circuit, it monitors the voltage levels to detect any increase in the voltage. In case of an overvoltage, the spark gap is triggered and an arcing discharge is produced due to the stored energy in the capacitor. The arcing discharge allows the excess voltage to be safely discharged in a low-impedance path, thus protecting the system from any damage caused by the surge.

The SL0902A090SM GDT is designed to provide protection againstline-to-ground, line-to-line, and ground-to-ground voltage surges in the range of 0.1 to 10 kilovolts (kV). It has a maximum voltage breakdown of 10kV and a maximum operating temperature of +55℃. It also features a low leakage current of 10 – 40mA, making it suitable for use in sensitive electronic systems. In addition, it is designed to provide overvoltage protection in industrial applications involving wiring, busbars, motors, transformers, and other equipment.

The SL0902A090SM GDT is a cost-effective solution for providing surge voltage protection in power electronic systems and is suitable for most industrial applications. It is easy to install and can provide reliable protection against any surge or overvoltage that may occur. Additionally, its low operating temperature and low leakage current make it an ideal choice for use in sensitive electronic systems.
