Eaton MTL TP48 range
Overview
The MTL TP48 series safeguards field-mounted process transmitters against induced surges and transients right at the source. Compact and self-resetting, each unit screws directly into a spare conduit entry—no loop wiring changes, conduit modifications or additional hardware required. Available in 2-, 3- and 4-wire versions, TP48 offers intrinsically safe (Ex ia) and flameproof (Ex d) approvals for hazardous-area installations.
Key Features
- Protects 2-, 3- and 4-wire transmitters without adding series resistance
- Direct conduit-entry mounting: ½″ NPT, M20 × 1.5 ISO or G ½″ BSP
- Hybrid protection: gas-filled discharge tube + solid-state electronics
- Surge capacity: 20 kA peak (8/20 µs)
- Leakage current < 10 µA
- Bandwidth 1 MHz—no signal attenuation
- 316 stainless-steel housing for harsh environments
- Automatic self-reset after each surge event
- Certified Ex ia IIC T4/T5/T6 Ga and Ex d IIC T4/T6 Gb (ATEX, IECEx)
- FM, CSA, UL approvals for global use
- 10-year “no-fuss” Eaton warranty
