MTL is a pioneer
in the development of the "shunt diode" safety barrier.
This is a passive network device that uses Zener diodes, resistors
and fuses to safely divert excess electrical energy to ground
and thus prevent sparking in or overheating of equipment in
hazardous areas. Their key benefits are low cost and the
ability to operate with data in analogue DC or high-speed
digital forms.
MTL became a world leader with its ranges
of shunt diode safety barriers and its support role in the
emergence of this new technology.The early MTL700 Series soon established
itself as an 'industry standard' with a reputation for quality
and reliability.
The ranges have evolved over the years but the latest
MTL7700 series is unique
in providing a broad range of benefits that the instrumentation
engineer looks for in a modern barrier.
With the new MTL7700, and continuing support
for our other ranges, MTL's commitment to zener barriers is
confirmed for many years to come. |
