Separating Instruments / Safety Barrier / Instrument Barrier (VEGA)
Protective and separating instruments
Separators separate intrinsically safe from non-intrinsically safe circuits. Distinguishing features are the type of power supply and the size of Ex-specific characteristics.
These devices are used in all applications where explosion protection regulations must be complied with. In addition to powering the sensors in the field, they provide galvanic isolation from the connected PLC or process control system.
The advantages
- Reliable separation of intrinsically safe and non-intrinsically safe circuits
- Simple installation because no additional power supply is required
- Simple mounting with carrier rails
