Gas Discharge Tube Arresters (GDT) are essential components of electrical power systems that provide reliable protection against lightning-induced over-voltages. ST-0600-BLT-STD is one of the most widely used GDTs in the market; it has a wide application field and its working principle has been proven to ensure the safety of power networks.

GDTs are typically used in short-distance transmission and distribution systems, with a variety of applications in high-voltage power networks. In a transmission line, for example, they can reduce both the number of outages caused by surges, and also the number of repairs required. In distribution systems, they are used to prevent damage from occasional high voltage spikes, whilst still allowing high-power currents to pass through the system. GDTs are also used in industrial applications, such as the protection of sensitive electronic control systems, to ensure their reliability in the face of lightning-induced over-voltages.

The ST-0600-BLT-STD is a lightweight GDT designed for use in outdoor power networks. It is made of a temperature-resistant polyethylene housing which encloses the stainless steel end plates and a highly reliable gas discharge tube. The tube operates based on a spark gap principle, which ensures that a voltage-dependent breakdown voltage is applied across two electrodes, causing an arc to form. When the voltage across the spark gap exceeds a pre-defined threshold, the arc is extinguished and the over-voltage is locked out.

The ST-0600-BLT-STD is designed for use in outdoor power networks that are subject to low and medium impulse levels (1.2/50µs and 10/500µs) and lightning levels (10/350µs and 10/ 700µs). It can survive a maximum voltage of 6kV, thus providing reliable protection against severe over-voltages. Additionally, it has a high energy dissipation capacity and a short response time, making it suitable for high-power applications.

The GDT works by allowing only limited voltages to pass through the tube. In a power network, lightning-induced over-voltages are subjected to the limited voltage of the GDT. When the limit is exceeded, an arc is created inside the tube, causing the voltage to drop to prevent further damage. As a result, the GDT performs its protective duties without allowing damaging levels of electricity to pass through the network.

In conclusion, the ST-0600-BLT-STD is a reliable and lightweight GDT which can provide effective protection against lightning-induced over-voltages in outdoor power networks. It has a wide application field and its working principle ensures a safe and secure network.
