An optional Switch-Grade Fail-Short device is available. The optional Fail-Short assembly will activate at a temperature of 215 °C –
217 °C to provide a high conductive path to ground in case of a thermal overload. GDTs equipped with the optional Fail-Short device
should be soldered either manually at a temperature that is below the activation temperature of the Fail-Short mechanism, or using a
selective soldering process that does not exceed 210 °C.
Notes:
Network applied.

The Rated Impulse Discharge Current for TRIGARD® Gas Discharge Tubes is the total current equally divided between each line
to ground.
• At delivery AQL 0.65 Level II, DIN ISO 2859.
