This feature of theSurge protector is known as the holdovervoltage. If the device continues to conduct,the protected line will be short circuitedand the tube will heat up (glow mode). Ifleft in this state, the tube can overheat anddestruct. GDT’s have a finite life span whichis inversely proportional to the energydissipated. At extremes it is possible toreach a level where the tube is unable todischarge all the energy and is destroyed.It is therefore necessary to schedule routinemaintenance checks and periodicallyreplace the tube within the surge protector.Surge protectors offer excellent lightningprotection for broadband systems and areusable up to 3 GHz. Standard interfacesinclude 7-16, N, and SMA. Configurationsinclude straight and bulkhead mountedadapters which allows for ease of assimilationinto existing systems.SpecificationsRequirementDetailElectricalFrequency RangeDC to 3GHzImpedance50ΩVSWR Performance ≤ 1.33:1Insertion Loss (Typical)0.45dBImpulse Discharge Current (8/20μs, multiple strike)20kAMaximum Impulse Discharge Current (8/20μs, single strike) 50kADynamic Sparkover Voltage, NEMP (1kV/μs) 2,000VDynamic Sparkover Voltage, LEMP (1kV/μs)800VDynamic Sparkover Voltage, Static (
