Introduction

Gas Discharge Tube Arresters, or GDTs for short, are electrical surge protectors that are designed to protect electronic systems from electrical damage caused by lightning strikes and power surges. GDTs are used to help protect sensitive electronic components, such as radios, computers, medical equipment, communication lines, and automotive systems from damage by this type of surge. They are commonly used for cell phone towers, power lines, and industrial plants, as well as for residential applications.

VS 600A-B Application Field

VS 600A-B is a GDT from Eaton, specifically designed for industrial applications where significant lightning activity, high voltage levels and extended operating temperature range are expected. It is ideal for industrial applications, such as transformers, switchgear, motors, and other industrial equipment. It is available in 12 and 24 kV rating for continuous voltage and 25 kV for BIL (basic impulse level). It is designed with a low response time to provide maximum suppressor protection and comes with a 5-year warranty.

VS 600A-B Working Principle

The VS 600A-B GDT works by utilizing a two-stage protection system. The first stage is the arrestor, which is made up of an external resistor and a gas discharge tube. This protects against the initial effects of a high energy surge, such as spikes and surges. The second stage is the metal oxide varistor, or MOV, which provides protection against induced transients. The MOV is made up of a two-stage protection system that clamps the voltage at the MOVs to a safe level. The MOV can also help reduce energy spikes that may cause damage to components.

When an overvoltage condition occurs, the GDT\'s gas discharge tube breaks down, creating a short circuit through its resistor and MOVs. This short circuit reduces or eliminates the voltage surge, thereby protecting sensitive electronic components from damage. It also prevents any secondary or delayed voltage surges from entering the equipment.

Conclusion

The VS 600A-B GDT from Eaton is a highly efficient surge protector designed for industrial applications that require protection from high voltage levels and lightning activity. It features a two-stage protection system, comprised of an external resistor and gas discharge tube, and an MOV, to protect electronic components from damage. With its low response time and 5-year warranty, the VS 600A-B GDT is an ideal choice for industrial applications.
