The CITEL INC BF PS 350/20 is an Isolating Spark Gap (ISG) from the BF PS series, designed to protect metallic elements not directly connected to ground for functional reasons. These elements, such as metal tubes, antennas, or towers, can be vulnerable to electrical discharges resulting from direct strikes on the structure.
This spark gap features a maximum discharge current capacity of 100 kA (8/20µs wave) and a maximum lightning current of 50 kA (10/350µs wave). It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and has a protection class of IP67, making it suitable for both outdoor and indoor installations. The device utilizes gas discharge tube technology and connects to the network via a cable output.
Conforming to EN 62561-3, the BF PS 350/20 is intended for use with Gas Tube Arrestors (GDTs). Its electrical characteristics include a DC resistance voltage of 280 V and an AC resistance voltage of 190 V, with a dynamic sparkover voltage of 1000 V at 1kV/µs. The unit is compact, weighing 0.122 kg, and is supplied one per package.
