SD Series

Ultra-slim user-friendly devices for protectiing electronic equipment and systems against surges on signal and I/O cabling

Range of ATEX Certied intrinsically safe surge protectors Ultra-slim space-saving design; easy installation Multistage hybrid protection circuitry -- 20kA maximum surge current Range of voltage ratings -- to suit all process I/O applications High bandwidth, low resistance, RTD, PSTN and 3-wire transmitter versions available 10 year product warranty
is provided by the SD07, SD16, SD32 and SD55 units. In addition, a third connection on the eld and safe side of the protector is provided in order to terminate screens safely. For three wire applications the specially designed SDRTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) and the SD32T3, (for separately powered 4-20mA loops) provide full 3-wire protection in a single compact unit. The recommended choice for the protection of 3-wire pressure transducers on low power circuits is the SD07R3. For higher bandwidth applications, the SDR series has been developed to meet the demands of todays highest speed communication systems. 120V and 240V AC versions are available for I/O and power supplies up to three Amps of load current. Telephone networks can be protected by the SDPSTN. One simple manual operation clamps modules securely onto DIN rail, which automatically provides the essential high-integrity earth connection. Top-hat (T-section) DIN rail is generally suitable for mounting SD modules although for adverse environments, a specially-plated version is available from MTL Surge Technologies. A comprehensive range of mounting and earthing accessories can also be supplied, see page 7 for further details.

The SD Series is a range of surge protection devices combining unparalleled packing densities, application versatility, proven reliable hybrid circuitry, simple installation and optional loop disconnect facilities features which make the series the ultimate surge protection solution for process equipment, I/O systems and communications networks. The exceptionally high packing densities are the consequence of an ultra slim footprint for individual modules which can thus double-up as feedback terminals. Each module provides full hybrid surge protection for 2 and 3 wire loop protection. Modules with a comprehensive range of voltage ratings cover all process related signals such as RTDs, THCs, 4 to 20mA loops, telemetry outstations, shut-down systems and re and gas detectors. Optional loop disconnect, is a feature which allows commissioning and maintenance to be carried out without removal of the surge protection device. This facility

Data & Signal Protection

Guide to applications and selection

The SD Series of SPDs includes models for almost all possible applications operating at voltages up to 250V ac. The optional fuse/ disconnect package provides both fused protection against fault currents and a convenient method of isolating eld circuitry from protected circuitry without needing additional disconnect terminals. The standard fuse (which is replaceable) is rated 250mA with 50mA fuses also being available by special request. Where only the disconnect feature is required, solid links can be used. As an example, this feature is of particular value in applications in which an SPD is used with a bulk power supply feeding multiple loops. The individual module fuse prevents a fault or follow on current on one loop disrupting the power supply to the others. Also, loops can be removed from the circuit for maintenance reasons or added without needing additional disconnect terminals. The following guide to selection suggests the most suitable SDs for a number of specic applications. For technical information, see the detailed specications on the back page of this publication (some eld circuit protection is shown for completeness).
FIELD CIRCUIT PROTECTED CIRCUIT

Analogue inputs (high-level)

2-wire transmitters, 4-20mA, conventional and smart The SPDs recommended for use with conventional and smart 4-20mA transmitters (fed by a well-regulated supply) are the SD32 and SD55, the choice depending upon the maximum working voltage of the system (32V and 55V respectively). The diagram illustrates a prime example of an application for which the fuse/disconnect facility is particularly useful, however, both models are available in X versions without the optional fuse/disconnect feature.

2-wire transmitters

Analogue inputs (low-level)

RTDs These applications are best served using the SDRTD. For optimum accuracy, the energising current should be chosen to ensure the voltage across the RTD does not exceed 1V over the full measurement range. When using a PT100 device, we recommend an energising current of 1mA.

3-wire RTDs

photocells, THCs, mV sources and turbine owmeters The SD07 or SD16 (depending upon the operational voltage) are the favoured choices for this application. SD07X and SD16X are also suitable.

Transmitter and sensor protection

Transmitters and sensors are widely used in highly exposed areas and where lightning damage is common. In many cases, the ideal solution for 2-wire transmitters or sensors is the TP48 which mounts directly onto the transmitter housing via spare cable entries. Where these entries are not available or 3-wire devices are used, the compact design and simple installation of the SD series makes it the obvious choice for transmitter protection. The SDs within the junction box should be installed no further than one metre away but as close as possible to the sensor or transmitter they are protecting. A bond is required from the general mass of steelwork to the sensor or transmitter housing either using a at short braid or a cable of at least 4mm2 cross sectional area. In most instances this bond is automatically made by xing the metallic transmitter housing to the plant structure. This bond ensures the voltage difference between the signal conductors and the transmitter housing is below the transmitters insulation rating. Please note that the transmitters or sensors are connected to the Protected Equipment terminals of the SD and not the Field Cables.

2-wire transmitters or sensors

4-20mA transmitters, conventional and smart Where the TP48 is not an acceptable solution, either because of technical suitability or difculties in mounting, the SD16X, SD32X and SD55X are an excellent alternative.

3-wire transmitters or sensors

Vibration Sensors and 4-20mA loop process control systems invariably require three wire connections, when powered from an external source. This may be accomplished in one unit by using the SD32T3 three terminal Surge Protection Device (SPD). Because the SD32T3 protects all three conductors within the same unit, higher protection is achieved, as the SPD hybrid circuitry is common to all three wires. The SD07R3 is available for the protection of 3-wire pressure transducers on low power circuits.

2-wire transmitter or sensor

3-wire transmitter or sensor

4-wire transmitters or sensors

Flow meters, level detectors, etc. 4-wire systems such as level detectors require two SDs, one for the supply and the other for the transmitter output. Generally the voltages across the pairs are similar and so the recommended choice would be a pair of SD16X, SD32X or SD55Xs. However, mains powered transmitters should be protected with an SD150X or 275X (depending upon supply voltage) for the supply inputs. Loadcells are catered for by MTL Surge Technologies LC30 which is suitable for both 4 and 6-wire load cells.

Communication systems protection

High speed data links between buildings or one part of a plant to another have become more common with the widespread use of smart transmitters and the increase in unmanned installations. The SD series has an SPD suitable for all process I/O applications with a choice of low resistance units, high bandwidth and a variety of voltage variants. The SDR series has been specially designed to meet the requirements for high speed data links with an extremely high bandwidth.

Hazardous area applications

ZoneO/Zone1
The dangers from lightning induced sparking in Zone 0 are considered real enough to require preventative measures. IEC 6007914 (1996-12) Electrical apparatus for explosive gas atmospheres Part 14: Electrical installations in hazardous areas (other than mines) stresses the importance of SPDs in hazardous areas. An outdoor installation where there is a high likelihood of both lightning induced transients and combustible gases requires the installation of SPDs to prevent possible ignition of the gases. Areas seen particularly at risk include ammable liquid storage tanks, efuent treatment plants, distillation columns in petrochemical works and gas pipelines. SPDs for transmitter protection should be installed in Zone 1 but sufciently close to the Zone 0 boundary to prevent high voltages entering Zone 0. The distance from the SPD to Zone 0 should be less than one metre where possible. However, in practice the SPD would normally be mounted on the transmitter or sensor housing which usually lies in Zone 1 and is very close to Zone 0. Because there is only a very small free volume, the SD Series is suitable for mounting in ameproof or explosion proof enclosures. The power rating for each of these is dependent on the table shown below. Pi = 1W (30C to +75C) Pi = 1.2W (30C to +60C) Pi = 1.3W (30C to +40C) The SD** Series are classied as simple apparatus and are intended for use in Zone 2 or safe areas only, because their fuses are not fully encapsulated.

Installation
Positioning
The SDs should be mounted on the eld wiring side to ensure that any surges entering from the eld do not damage any intrinsically safe barriers or galvanic isolators in the system. The SDs and IS interfaces should be mounted close to each other but on separate DIN rails in order to maintain the required 50mm clearance between safe area and hazardous area terminals.

Zone 2
The SD series is suitable for protecting electrical circuits in Division 2, Zone 2 and can be used without affecting the safety aspects of the circuit. Non-incendive (low-current) circuits can be protected using any SD series unit mounted in either the safe or hazardous area including those with the fuse disconnect facility. Non arcing (high current) circuits can also be protected except that SPDs with the fuse disconnect facility may only be mounted in the safe area. For use in these circuits the units must be mounted in a suitable enclosure, normally the minimum requirements are IP54 and 7Nm resistance to impact. The SD series is self certied by MTL Surge Technologies as being suitable for this purpose.

Earthing
The recommended earthing for eld mounted devices has been illustrated previously but it is the earthing at the control panel that is more critical as there are usually a number of earthing systems, each with their own requirements. The earthing system illustrated here replaces the instrument 0V bond, the control system PSU bond and the IS earth with one single earth connection to meet all the design requirements and give the most effective protection against the effects of lightning induced surges.

Certication
Introducing surge protection into Intrinsically Safe (IS) circuits is trouble free as long as the current and power parameters are not exceeded. In the SD Series, the SD**X, SD**R, SD**R3, SDRTD and SD**T3 all have ATEX certication for use in IS circuits located in Zones 0, 1 or 2. The certication parameters for the SD**X and SD**T3 are: EEx ia IIC T4, Li = 0.22mH Ii = 260mA for Ui up to 20V Ii = 175mA for Ui up to 26V Ii = 140mA for Ui up to 28V Ii = 65mA for Ui up to 60V The certication parameters for the SD**R, SD**R3 and SDRTD are: EEx ia IIC T4, Li = 0 Ii = 260mA for Ui up to 60V

SD Series mounting kits and accessories

The SD Series has a full range of mounting kits and accessories to simplify installation and tagging of individual loops. Insulating spacers (ISP7000) are available to allow mounting of the units onto backplanes without compromising correct earthing practice. These are placed at regular intervals along the rail or at each end as required. Earth connections can be made to the DIN rail via the earth terminal (ETL7000). Weatherproof enclosures are also available with all the necessary mounting accessories to install the SD series surge protection devices. Two tagging systems are available. One consists of tagging strips (TAG57) with labels (TGL57) mounted on posts (IMB57) at each end of a row of surge protection devices (SPDs). The other consists of separate tagging identiers (BRI7000) mounted on the tops of individual SPDs. Both methods can be used conjointly. Replaceable fuses or solid links are available in packs of 5 (SD-F25, SD-F05 and SD-LNK).
