Gas Discharge Tubes
Heavy Duty Delta Range
RoHS Pb Greentube™ SL1026 Series Gas Plasma Arresters
The SL1026 series is a heavy-duty transient suppresser using Gas
Plasma technology. In response to a transient voltage which
exceeds the fixed breakover voltage (selected according to part
number) the device changes from a very high impedance state to
a low impedance state, there by conducting harmful current
away from the protected system. The design is optimized for the
protection of electrical and electronic equipment employed in
Railway systems: carefully designed geometry ensures the device
does not become a short circuit in the event of a failure due to
conditions and events beyond the design criteria. An electrical
mounting clip (PN SL1053 ) is available to aid mounting and con-
nection. A mounting plate (PN SL 1056) is also available which
accepts 10 SL1053’s. Mounting of the clips to the plate provides a
common ground connection; the plate can then be connected to
a suitable ground via the screw terminal.
