MTL Instruments

MTL Instruments, now part of Eaton Corporation's Crouse-Hinds series, is a leading manufacturer specializing in electronic instrumentation and protection equipment for process control and telecommunication systems. They excel in three primary areas:

1. Intrinsic Safety (IS)

Intrinsic Safety technology ensures safe operation of electrical instruments in hazardous environments containing flammable gases, vapors, or dust. MTL offers a comprehensive range of IS products including:

• Barriers: Limit electrical energy transfer to safe levels within hazardous areas.
• Isolators: Galvanically isolate intrinsically safe circuits from non-hazardous circuits.
• Earth Leakage Protection Devices: Detect and interrupt ground faults in intrinsically safe circuits.

2. Process Control

MTL provides robust solutions for signal conditioning interfaces and human-machine interfaces (HMIs) to facilitate reliable communication between field instruments (sensors, transmitters) and control systems in process industries.

3. Surge Protection

MTL offers a diverse line of surge protectors designed to safeguard sensitive electronic equipment from lightning strikes and transient voltage spikes.
