VG Technology for AC & Photovoltaic Surge Protectors

This technology is exclusive and patented of CITEL based on the use of specific types of Gas tubes: GSG. After 80 years of experience in the gas discharge tube field, this technology is the result of behaviour adapted to the power network in order to provide robustness and working stability. The association with varistors combines the advantages of both technologies, leading to the development of VG technology for low voltage Type 1 surge protectors and has since extended to Type 2 surge protectors and to Photovoltaic applications.

THE CITEL RANGE USING THE “VG” TECHNOLOGY:

  • DAC50VGS : Type 2 AC power SPD, Imax = 50 kA
  • DAC1-13VGS : Type 1 AC power SPD, Iimp = 12.5 kA
  • DACN1-25CVGS : 3-phase Type 1 AC power SPD, Iimp =25 kA.
  • DS60VGPV : Type 1 PV power SPD, Iimp = 12.5 kA
  • DPVN : Type1 and Type 2 PV power SPD, Imax = 40 kA
