"Button" Surge Arresters

PLASMA manufactures this series of miniature metal-ceramic surge arresters with 2, 3 and 4 electrodes, primary intended for over voltage protection of engineering and telecommunication installations, including telephone stations, facsimile, modems, PCs and other sensitive electronics in individual machines, airborne equipment.

Technical parameters of given arresters meet all the requirements and recommendations of CCITT.

The response characteristics do not depend on radioactive doping. The electrical characterstics of the arrester, such as spark-over voltage, impulse and a.d. current handling capability can be optimized to the particular requirements of various telecom systems.

We present our three main types of the R-series button surge arresters:

Two-electrode arresters with breakdown voltages in the range 70 V to 1500 V, PBV of 0.65 to 2.0 kV in four different operation modes, providing peak current 0.1, 1.0, 10 and 0.014 kA respectively.
Three-electrode arresters with breakdown voltages in the range 80 V to 600 V , PBV of 0.8 kV, in four operation modes with peak current 0.3, 1.0, 10 and 0.014 kA.
Multi-section (four electrode) arresters with breakdown voltages in the range 1 to 13 kV, operating in three different modes.

This series of PLASMA spark gaps is intended for surge protection of electronic components, operating at high voltages. Complete restoration of their properties after the breakdown occurs at the decrease of voltage on them down to the extinction voltage and at the limitation of the current to the value specified in the table. The spark gaps will break down within 20% of the specified voltage.
