CITEL'S VG TECHNOLOGY

Several technologies exist on the market for surge protection or power network:

  • Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV)
  • Air Gap + Trigger
  • MOV + Gas-filled Spark Gap (GSG) (CITEL's VG Technology)

 

VG technology is CITEL's exclusive and patented technology based on the use of specific types of Gas-filled spark gaps (GSG) in conjuntions with Metal oxide varistors (MOV). These components, the result of over 75 years of experience in the gas discharge tube field, have a behavior adapted to the power network and provide robustness and working stability: their association with varistors combines the advantages of both technologie.
CITEL originally developed the “VG” technology for low voltage Type 1 surge protectors and has then extended it to Type 2 surge protectors and to Photovoltaic applications.
