Gas Discharge Tubes AC and CG3 Series AC and CG3 Series RoHS Description Littelfuse AC series two-electrode line protectors provide a high degree of surge protection in AC line applications. The two models, AC120 and AC240 are designed for use with 120VAC and 240VAC lines respectively. They are able to extinguish AC follow-on currents of at least 200A. Littelfuse CG3 two electrode high voltage (1.0 - 7.5 KV) devices are designed for surge protection and high isolation applications, and for applications for which bias voltages or signal levels of several hundred volts are normally present.
