Product Overview

The MTL7764AC is a high-performance shunt-diode safety barrier (Zener barrier) from Eaton's Crouse-Hinds series MTL7700 range, specifically engineered for strain-gauge bridge circuits, load cells, and Wheatstone bridge applications requiring intrinsic safety protection in hazardous areas.

This passive device limits the voltage and current that can reach a hazardous area under fault conditions, preventing ignition of flammable atmospheres. With a rated voltage of 12 V, end-to-end resistance of 1,000 Ω, and maximum current of 12 mA, the MTL7764AC is the ideal solution for protecting sensitive strain-gauge based measurement equipment in Zone 0, 1, and 2 hazardous locations (gas groups IIC, IIB, IIA).

The device features a compact 12 mm width and standard DIN rail mounting for easy integration into existing control cabinets.

Function Description

The MTL7764AC is a passive shunt-diode safety barrier that operates on the Zener barrier principle. It limits both voltage and current that can be delivered to a hazardous area circuit under fault conditions.

How it works:
  • Voltage limiting: Zener diodes clamp the output voltage to a safe level (12 V) if the safe-area voltage rises above normal operating levels
  • Current limiting: A series resistor (1,000 Ω) limits fault current to a safe value (12 mA)
  • Fusing: Internal 50 mA fuses provide backup protection under severe fault conditions
  • Grounding: The barrier requires a connection to a high-integrity earth ground to function properly
Typical strain-gauge bridge configuration:
  • The MTL7764AC is typically used in conjunction with other MTL barriers for complete strain-gauge bridge protection:
    • MTL7761ac: Provides bridge excitation power (14 V, 230 Ω source)
    • MTL7764ac: Used to sense the bridge supply voltage
    • MTL7766Pac: Provides 12.3 V for 350 Ω bridges with 20 V supply
  • For load cells with resistance between 350 Ω and 800 Ω, the MTL7764AC provides safe excitation and signal conditioning
Load cell application note:
The MTL7764AC is approved by Factory Mutual for use with 1 to 4 load cells in a clear covered polycarbonate junction box. The indicator can have excitation voltage of 10 to 20 V DC and must have remote sense ability. Load cells with Wheatstone bridge circuits are classified as "Non-energy Storing Simple Apparatus" (per ANSI/ISA-RP12.6) requiring no additional approvals when connected to certified intrinsic safety barriers.
Applications

The MTL7764AC is specifically designed for strain-gauge and load cell applications in hazardous area installations:

Industry Application
Oil & Gas Tank level measurement using load cells on storage tanks in Zone 0/1 areas
Chemical Processing Vessel weighing systems, hopper scales, and silo level monitoring
Pharmaceutical Batch weighing systems for solvent handling equipment requiring Ex protection
Mining Conveyor belt weighing systems, bin level monitoring
Food & Beverage Tank weighing for flammable liquid storage (spirits, oils)
Marine & Offshore Cargo tank monitoring, mooring line tension measurement
Typical field devices connected:
  • Strain-gauge bridge sensors (full Wheatstone bridge configuration)
  • Load cells (350 Ω to 800 Ω resistance)
  • Torque sensors
  • Pressure sensors based on strain-gauge technology
  • Weighing systems in hazardous areas
