Good power supply management is at the heart of the MTL8000 system. AC and DC power supply units are available to suit the available resources. All units are designed to endure the harsh environmental conditions that are frequently found in process plants and, naturally, they meet rigorous EMC and electrical safety standards. Power supply connections are minimised and simplified to ensure that power provision requires the minimum of wiring effort. MTL8000 series power supplies are designed to support redundancy when required and many are fitted with "health" signal outputs for early warning of problems.
