Isolating Spark Gap, also known as a Gas Discharge Tube (GDT), is a type of Surge Protective Device (SPD) designed to suppress transient overvoltage in electrical systems. Typically constructed as a sealed tube containing inert gas, the Isolating Spark Gap becomes conductive when the voltage exceeds a specified threshold, effectively diverting the surge to ground.
One of the key advantages of the Isolating Spark Gap is its ability to enhance system performance by safely bonding separate systems, such as grounding systems and data communication networks. Kumwell offers comprehensive solutions and services for Isolating Spark Gaps, tailored to meet the needs of various industrial sectors.
Here are some of Kumwell's featured Isolating Spark Gap products designed for optimal protection and integration:
ISOLATING SPARK GAPS
HIGH POWER GAS DISCHARGE TUBE
FOR EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING
KZ.ISG100 Isolating Spark Gap (ISG) is a High Power Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) designed to perform equipotential bonding between two grounding points that are not directly connected under normal conditions. During transient events such as lightning strikes or overvoltage surges, the ISG activates when a significant potential difference occurs between the two points. The KZ.ISG100 is designed and tested according to IEC 62561-3 standards. For optimal performance and protection, installation is recommended indoors or in underground environments.
ISOLATING SPARK GAPS
HIGH POWER GAS DISCHARGE TUBE FOR
USE IN EXPLOSION HAZARDS AREAS
KZ.ISG100-EX Isolating Spark Gap (ISG EX Model) is a High Power Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) specifically designed for use in explosion hazard areas. It functions as an equipotential bonding device between various parts of the system that cannot be directly connected under normal conditions, thereby preventing potential differences that may arise during lightning strikes or overvoltage events. This device is designed and tested in compliance with IEC 62561-3, and also meets the requirements of EN 50014 and EN 50028, ensuring safe operation in hazardous environments prone to explosion risks.
ISOLATING SPARK GAPS
HIGH POWER GAS DISCHARGE TUBE FOR
EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING OVERVOLTAGE
PROTECTION IN RAILWAY NETWORKS
KZ.ISG100-RW Isolating Spark Gap (ISG RW Model) is a High Power Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) designed for equipotential bonding between different parts of a system that cannot be directly connected by bonding conductors under normal conditions. It helps to prevent potential differences during lightning strikes or overvoltage events. This model is designed and tested according to IEC 62561-3 and is specifically developed to protect DC and AC-powered equipment in railway systems from transient overvoltages.
