MTL are pleased to announce its new SD Modular (SDM) surge device for protection within process I/O loops. The use of the SDM surge protector mitigates the risks to your systems of catastrophic failure and degradation caused by over-voltages and transients generated by heavy machinery or lightning. The reduction of this risk will enhance your overall plant reliability, therefore increasing availability.

The new SD modular represents the next generation of the well-established SD series. With the SD series' already high performance and small footprint, the modularity of this device now allows you to make a change of a module without having to disconnect any wiring, making maintenance quick and simple.

The tagging and locking strip is an integral feature to the base and is designed to retain modules under abnormal vibration and identify the voltage of the module even when not present. This builds on other features from the SD series such as fusing and disconnect, making the SD modular a feature rich evolution in the surge protection world.
