Eaton MTL SLP dual-channel hybrid surge protector for data and signal

The Crouse-Hinds series SLP range is a series of surge protection devices combining high packing densities, application versatility, proven hybrid circuitry and simple installation – features which make the range the most cost effective surge protection solution for process control equipment systems and communications networks.

The multi-stage hybrid surge protection network at the heart of the SLP uses a combination of solid state electronics and a gas filled discharge tube (GDT) to provide surge protection up to 20kA. This impressive surge protection circuit is designed to exhibit exceptionally low line resistance and adds only a tiny voltage drop to the circuit.

In operation, the SLP device does not adversely affect the performance or operation of the loop or combined equipment. The device allows signals to pass with very little attenuation while diverting surge currents safely to earth and clamping output voltages to safe levels.
