Product Short Description
138257-02 is an original industrial plug-in internal barrier module manufactured by Bently Nevada (Baker Hughes). It belongs to the official 3500 Machinery Protection TSI System platform and is the dedicated TMR triple modular redundant internal signal isolation barrier matching the 3500 system chassis. This module provides complete galvanic isolation, surge protection, overvoltage protection and signal conditioning between field proximity transducer sensors and internal monitoring monitor circuits. It isolates ground loop interference, common-mode noise and external surge damage, stabilizes proximity vibration, position and keyphasor signal transmission.
