Subject: Drop surge protection
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GAS TUBE & SIDACTOR (solid state) SURGE PROTECTION
Sidactor
Gas tube
1 ns
less voltage let through
Variable, usually 5000 ns
Reliability
Does not degrade
Degrades every time it takes a hit
Life span
Unlimited
Shortens every time it takes a hit
Response Time
Clamping Voltage
Low clamping voltage
Higher clamping voltage
Therefore more voltage let through
Current Handling
1000 Amps
Usually 20,000 amps
reduces each time it takes a hit
Continuous small transients can reduce current handling quickly
