Eaton MTL4500 backplane-mounted IS isolators
Backplane-mounted intrinsic safety isolators for DCS, ESD and F&G systems – high channel density, 3-port isolation and live maintenance.
- Backplane mounting for direct DCS/ESD/F&G integration
- Highest module/channel packing density, single and multi-channel
- 3-port isolation, low power dissipation, line-fault monitoring
- Compatible replacement for earlier MTL isolator ranges
Overview
The MTL4500 is a backplane-mounted range of intrinsic safety isolators protecting signals that enter areas with flammable gas or dust. Planar transformer technology and automated manufacturing give high reliability for DCS, emergency shutdown (ESD) and fire & gas (F&G) projects.
Key features
- Quick install-and-release mechanism, live maintenance
- Single and multi-channel I/O modules with 3-port isolation
- Broken-line monitoring
- Various models assessed for functional safety
Applications
Refineries, power plants and LNG terminals – control systems that need large numbers of intrinsically safe channels.
