MTL MA15/D/2TT/L Surge Protectors

MTL MA15 MA15/D/2TT/L Surge Protectors

The MA15 range of surge protection devices protects electronic equipment and computer networks against the effects of ‘noise pollution’ induced in mains power supplies. MA15 units ‘clean up’ the effects of industrial noise and surges caused by lightning, switching devices, thyristor controls, transmission system overloads and power-factor correction circuits. Industrial control systems utilising programmable logic controllers (plc) and industrial computers are particularly vulnerable due to the aggressive electrical environments for which they are intended, such as process plants, factories and water treatment sites. Although industrial computers and plcs are designed to be rugged, the extra protection provided by the DIN rail mounting MA15 units is critical. Ideally suited for protecting panel mounted equipment and typically used in the controls section of a motor control centre (MCC), the MA15 range provides surge and RFI protected power. Suitable for AC or DC application, MA15 units reduce both electromagnetic emissions and the susceptibility of the associated equipment to emissions from other sources.

• Protects panel loads up to 15 Amps in series, unlimited Amps in parallel

• Suitable for AC or DC application

• Thermal and short circuit protection

• Optional LED status indication feature

• Exceeds requirements of IEC 61000-4-5

• 10 year product warranty

Industrial control systems utilizing programmable logic controllers (plc) and industrial computers are particularly vulnerable due to the aggressive electrical environments for which they are intended, such as process plants, factories and water treatment sites. Although industrial computers and plcs are designed to be rugged, the extra protection provided by the DIN rail mounting MA15 units is critical. Ideally suited for protecting panel mounted equipment and typically used in the controls section of a motor control centre (MCC), the MA15 range provides surge and RFI protected power.

Suitable for AC or DC application, MA15 units reduce both

electromagnetic emissions and the susceptibility of the associated equipment to emissions from other sources. MA15 devices also offer ultimate installation flexibility. To protect circuits rated 15A or less,MA15 devices should be installed in series. To protect higher current circuits, simply install the MA15 in parallel. An LED status indication facility is standard with the MA15 units.This displays both ‘power on’ and that protection is present. Thermal fusing is also incorporated into each 12kA rated device as an additional

safety feature. MA15 units also offer short circuit protection for added peace of mind.

MA15 devices are UL 1449 Recognized Components (certified by UL for both US and Canadian requirements) and exceed the requirements of IEC 61000-4-5. As MA15 units suppress conducted RFI and voltage surges they enable associated equipment to comply with this aspect of European ‘CE’ mark standards.
