1. Signal Loop Isolation in Process Control
Utilized in DCS and PLC marshalling cabinets to manage 4-20mA analog signal loops. The terminal block allows technicians to disconnect specific sensors or actuators for calibration and testing via the integrated test sockets without physically disconnecting wires.
Problem Solved
Eliminates the risk of loose connections or short circuits during routine maintenance of sensitive analog signal paths, reducing downtime and wiring errors.

2. Secondary Circuit Protection in Substations
Deployed in voltage transformer (VT) secondary circuits within power distribution panels. The disconnect facility provides a safe point to isolate metering and protection relays for injection testing.
Problem Solved
Ensures operator safety and prevents short circuits in VT loops during commissioning or maintenance by providing a clear, visible break point.

3. Hazardous Area Instrumentation Maintenance
Installed in Ex e / Ex ec certified junction boxes located in Zone 2 hazardous areas. The terminal facilitates the safe disconnection of field instruments for replacement or verification while maintaining compliance with explosion protection standards.
Problem Solved
Provides a certified, spark-safe disconnect method in explosive atmospheres, facilitating instrument checks without violating Zone 2 compliance.
