MTL700 Series shunt-diode safety
barriers are 1- or 2-channel devices which
pass an electrical signal in either direction
without shunting it, but limit the transfer of
energy to a level that cannot ignite
explosive atmospheres. Connected in series
with the signal transmission lines on a
process plant, they protect hazardous-area
wiring and equipment against faults
occurring in the safe area, and enable a
wide range of measurement and control
operations to be carried out simply and
inexpensively
by
intrinsically
safe
techniques. Conventional wiring and,
frequently, standard transducers can be
employed in the hazardous area, and can
be worked on for maintenance or
calibration purposes without further
precautions. Safe-area equipment needs no
certification and can be modified or
extended as required.
Applications include the protection of
installations containing simple uncertified
devices such as thermocouples, switches,
and resistive sensors, or separately certified
energy storing or voltage producing
apparatus, for example ac sensors,

1. Safety description
The safety description of a barrier, eg 10V 50 200mA, refers to the
maximum voltage of the terminating Zener or forward diode while the
fuse is blowing, the minimum value of the terminating resistor, and the
corresponding maximum short-circuit current. It is an indication of the
fault energy that can be developed in the hazardous area, and not of
the working voltage or end-to-end resistance.
2. Polarity
Barriers may be polarised + or , or non-polarised (ac). Polarised
barriers accept and/or deliver safe-area voltages of the specified
polarity only. Non-polarised barriers support voltages of either
polarity applied at either end. An exception to this is the MTL791
Fieldbus barrier which has one positive and one negative channel.
3. End-to-end resistance
The resistance between the two ends of a barrier channel at 20C, ie
of the resistors and the fuse. If diodes or transistors are present, their
voltage drop (transistors ON) is quoted in addition.
6. Fuse rating
The greatest current that can be passed continuously (for 1000 hours
at 35C) through the fuse.

In star-connected barriers, the two channels are interlocked such that
the voltage between them cannot exceed the working voltage, Vwkg:
this allows for higher cable capacitance or inductance.

The maximum permissible safe-area voltage (Um) for MTL700 Series
barriers is 250V ac/dc.

OVERVOLTPROTECTED BARRIERS
OVERVOLT-PROTECTED
BARRIERS
The MTL702+, 706+, 707+, 707P+ and 708+ have built-in overvolt
protection, allowing their use with unregulated power supplies. In
many applications, eg, sensor inputs or controller outputs, there is
insufficient power available to blow the barrier fuse and this
additional protection is not necessary. However, where the barrier is
connected to a power supply, eg, for energising transmitters, switches,
solenoids or local alarms, overvolt protection allows the barriers to be
used with unregulated supplies up to 35V dc and also gives protection
against faulty wiring during commissioning.

MTL760ac

The preferred barrier for thermocouples is the MTL760ac, whose 2channel non-polarised design retains the earth-free nature of the
signal. Provided that the receivers input circuit floats, the combination
rejects common-mode ac and dc interference up to at least 6V and is
unaffected by earth faults on the primary element. Even if the
receivers circuit is tied to its 0V rail, the use of a 2-channel barrier
takes the worry out of earthing. To eliminate errors due to thermal
emfs, the compensating cable should be continued from the barrier to
the receiver. For moving coil or other low resistance receivers, use the
MTL751 (40 ) or the MTL755ac (36 ) if the resistance of the MTL760
(170 ) is unacceptable.

There are many solutions. Perhaps the simplest is that shown in Fig.
7, where an MTL760ac supplies power and brings back a unipolar
signal. Other barriers that could be used include the MTL761ac,
765ac, 772ac, 778ac. Where polarity reversal or very high
accuracy are required, use the techniques designed for strain-gauge
bridges, below.

For 3-wire circuits with a floating bridge, the most economical solution
is
provided
by
the
MTL755ac
2-channel
barrier,
Fig. 4. The two leads from the bridge arms are protected by the
barrier, while the third (supply) lead is earthed at the busbar. The
MTL755ac has a low end-to-end resistance of only 18.0 per channel
to minimise span changes, and its channels track within 0.15 (from
20 to +60C) to minimise zero shift with temperature. Close
tolerancing of each channel to 0.15 at 20C facilitates barrier
substitution.

Hazardous area
For switch-status transfer, Fig. 18, the MTL707+ is preferred for two
reasons. First, the circuit fails safe if there is an earth fault on either line
ie the safe-area load de-energises. Second, the MTL707+ accepts up
to 35V from poorly regulated power supplies without blowing its fuse:
if the supply is well regulated, the MTL787S+ can be used, see Fig. 19.

ANALOGUE OUTPUTS
Controller outputs 4 to 20mA
In most cases the output current of a controller flows directly to its 0V
rail and the rail can be earthed at the busbar, Fig. 22. Occasionally
the output circuit may be fully floating. In either event the 1-channel
MTL728+ or half an MTL779+ provides the solution. Overvolt
protection is not required, since current limiting in the controller protects
the fuse in the barrier. The voltage drop introduced by the barrier is
6.8V at 20mA.

For IIB applications, the MTL728P+ can be replaced with the similarly
designed 1-channel MTL729P+.
If the output circuit of the controller is separated from the 0V rail by the
control transistor, Fig. 23, a 2-channel barrier is necessary. The
MTL787S+ is recommended, since its return channel can handle up to
25.5V, allowing the control signal to be turned off completely. The
voltage drop introduced by the barrier is 8.1V at 20mA.
The maximum voltage drop introduced by the MTL787SP+ is only
6.4V at 20mA (compared to 8.1V for the MTL787S+). The barrier
return channel can handle up to 24.5V, allowing the control signal to
be turned off completely.

Fieldbus applications
The MTL791 (Fig. 29) is a 2-channel barrier designed specifically for
31.25kbit/s fieldbus applications. Used with a suitable floating
fieldbus power supply of up to 20V (such as that provided by the
MTL5995 unit) it extends the range of fieldbus applications into
hazardous areas. It is provided with an internal integral safe-area
terminator*.

The tables give the maximum permitted cable parameters (including cable and load) for hazardous-area circuits in group IIC and IIB gases. However, the tables are by no means exhaustive and for full
details of other safe combinations, consult either BASEEFA system certificates Ex832469, Ex92C2374 or Ex92C2376 or MTL. The MTL702 is covered by BASEEFA system certificate Ex842308, and
the MTL706 by Ex872513.
In practice cable parameters rarely present a problem, as all cables normally used for instrument interconnection have L/R ratios below 25H/ and capacitance below 200pF per metre.
Note 1
If values are not quoted for when an earth return is not used, those for an earth return (Yes in the table) can be used.
Note 2
For most practical purposes, the values of the parameters for groups IIB and IIA are respectively three and eight times the values for group IIC. Values for IIA are 2.6 times
those
for IIB.
Note 3
The maximum power that can be drawn from the barrier combination under fault conditions. Used for assessing the temperature classification of simple hazardous-area apparatus.
For FM permitted combinations, refer to MTL document SCI-88 (via FM ref 1H8A1.AX).
