Electrical Power & Protection


Advanced EMI protection

June 2008 Electrical Power & Protection

MTL Surge Technologies has introduced a range a unique units combining filtering, surge protection and ring suppression for guarding against the effects of electrical disturbances on AC power cabling.

The MA05 and MA10 Series protect electronic equipment and computer networks against the effects of noise pollution induced in main power supplies. A unique combination of circuit elements nullify the effects of industrial noise and surges caused by lightning, switching devices, thyristor controls, transmission system overloads and power-factor correction circuits.

With a tri-stage combination of protection elements, these units suppress conducted RFI and voltage surges. The circuit elements are:

* Surge clipping components to absorb transient surges that may otherwise damage equipment.

* Filter to suppress noise in the system.

* Ringing suppression designed to damp filter oscillations under low load conditions.

The MA05 and MA10 devices operate in both signal directions and therefore reduce both electro-magnetic emissions and the susceptibility of the associated equipment to emissions from other sources. Thermal fusing is also incorporated into each device as an additional safety feature.

Manufactured in accordance with ISO9001, the performance of all the units is tested before dispatch and exceeds the requirements of IEC 61000-4-5, level 4. Since the devices suppress conducted RFI and voltage surges, they enable associated equipment to comply with this aspect of the European CE mark standards.
