What is Zener Barrier?
Linovate Technologies, a leading manufacturer of fire safety products, offers reliable solutions to protect electrical systems in hazardous environments. Our Zener Barrier is designed to limit energy transfer, ensuring safety in various industries such as oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and mining.
Introduction to Zener Barriers
A Zener Barrier is a 2-wire device that passes electrical signals in both directions while limiting energy transfer. When installed between equipment in a safe area and fire sensors in a hazardous area, it prevents excessive power from entering the hazardous zone during a fault condition.
Key features include:
- 30V Zener Diodes: Cap the voltage entering the hazardous area.
- Polarity Sensitive Design: Protects floating supply equipment.
- Automatic Reset Fuse: Interrupts current during faults and resets once the condition is resolved.
