MTL7761AC MTL Instruments Barriera ingressi analogici Eaton Barriera Zener a 2 canali, barriera a sicurezza intrinseca, ATEX

The MTL7700 Series of intrinsically safe passive network devices use zener diodes, resistors and fuses to safely divert excess electrical energy to ground and prevent sparking or overheating of equipment in hazardous areas.

The MTL7700 intrinsic safety device provides quick and easy installation and maintenance with removable terminals, the loop can be disconnect by simply unplugging the terminals from the side of the module. Wire entry is also angled to assist wiring within limited space enclosures.

DIN-rail mountable the MTL7700 intrinsic safety devices clamp simply and securely onto standard T-section DIN rail, simultaneously making a reliable intrinsically safe earth connection.

For applications where field device power is required for switch inputs or 2-wire transmitters, the MTL7700 barrier range provides a bussed power feed facility. When used in conjunction with the MTL7798 power feed module the user has a fully protected, electronically fused supply to many barriers with no additional wiring required.

All MTL7700 range zener barriers are based on the same simple principle. Each channel contains two stages of pulse-tested Zener or forward-connected diodes and an ’infallible’ terminating resistor. In the event of an electrical fault in the safe area, the diodes limit the voltage that can reach the hazardous area and the resistor limits the current. A fuse protects the diodes, and the two stages of voltage limitation ensure continued safety if either stage should fail. No active output current limiting circuits are employed. All models are certified ’ia’ for all zones and ’IIC’ for all explosive atmospheres (except MTL7707P+ and MTL7729P+, ‘ia’ ‘IIB’).

This Eaton MTL zener barrier will process standard signals of up to 100mA in your control and instrumentation systems. It’s an effective way to enhance workplace safety in the field or other hazardous areas. By diverting excess electrical energy to the ground, the barrier prevents sparking and overheating. These could otherwise cause fire outbreaks, equipment damage and injuries. Unplug the removable terminals for quick and easy installation and maintenance. Angled wire entry makes it possible to fit the unit in small enclosures.

• Safe to use in explosive and other hazardous environments
• Simple and convenient DIN rail mounting
• Colour-coded terminals for easy identification during disconnection and replacement

In the event of an electrical fault, the diodes within the zener barrier limit the voltage that can reach a hazardous area, while its resistor limits the current. A fuse protects the diodes, and the two stages act as fail-safes.

You test the function of a zener barrier by measuring the resistance between the different terminals. A high resistance usually indicates that your barrier is in good working order.
