23、 standard applies to gas-tube surge-protective device components for application on systems withvoltages less than or equal to 1000 V rms or 1200 V dc.

This standard contains a series of standard test criteria for determining theelectrical characteristics of gas-tube surge-protective devices.The tests in this standard are intended as design tests as defined in The Authoritative Dictionary of IEEEStandard Terms B11and pr

25、ovide a means of comparison among various gas-tube surge-protective devicecomponents.2Gas-tube devices are used to provide over-voltage protection in electrical circuits. When the breakdownvoltage of the gas tube is exceeded, the normal high-impedance state of the tube changes to a low-impedance sta

After the tube conducts thesurge discharge current, it interrupts the flow of power follow current and returns to its high-impedancestate.This standards test criteria and definitions provide a common engineering language that is benefi

29、nt is used when the definition of gas-tube surge arrester(see Clause 2) is intended, and the term protector is used when the definition of surge protector (see Clause 2) is intended. When a testapplies to both protectors and surge-protective device components, the term device or gas-tube device is u
