B20M Vseries is the encapsulated gas discharge tube Type 2 according to EN 61643-11 and IEC 61643-11. These arresters are recommended for use in the Lightning Protection Zones Concept at the boundaries of LPZ 1-2 (according to IEC 62305 and EN 62305), in the power supply lines, which are operated as TN-S and TT systems, where they provide the equipotential bonding between N and PE in the connections of 1+1 or 3+1. Thanks to the high insulation resistance at the release condition, the GDT will not cause the activation of RCD.
Note : For IT power supply networks use a special variant of gas dicharge tubes – find more in the catalogue’s annex for IT networks.
The marking M specifies a type of construction with removable module.
The marking of DS specifies a version with remote monitoring.
