Frequently Asked Questions

What is the function of a Zener Barrier?

A Zener Barrier is designed to limit the energy that can be transferred from a safe area to a hazardous area, thereby preventing the ignition of flammable gases or dust in the hazardous area. It achieves this by using Zener diodes to clamp the voltage and a fuse to disconnect the circuit in the event of an overvoltage.

Can the Zener Barrier be used in explosive atmospheres?

Yes, the Zener Barrier is suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and is certified with ATEX and IECEx approvals, making it appropriate for Zones 0, 1, and 2 for gas and dust hazards.

What are the electrical specifications of this Zener Barrier?

The Zener Barrier has a nominal resistance of 240 to 300 ohms, a series resistance of up to 341 ohms, and a fuse rating of 50 to 80 mA. It is designed to work with a voltage of 26.5 V at 10 µA leakage current.

How is the Zener Barrier mounted?

The Zener Barrier is designed for mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail according to EN 60715:2001, which allows for easy installation and maintenance in control panels and equipment racks.

What are the ambient operating conditions for the Zener Barrier?

The Zener Barrier can operate in ambient temperatures ranging from -20 to 60 °C (-4 to 140 °F) and should be stored in temperatures from -25 to 70 °C (-13 to 158 °F). It is designed to function at a relative humidity of up to 75%, without moisture condensation.

What type of connections does the Zener Barrier support?

The Zener Barrier supports screw terminal connections with a maximum core cross-section of 2 x 2.5 mm², allowing for secure and reliable wiring to both the hazardous and safe area terminals.

What is the degree of protection provided by the Zener Barrier?
