Fieldbus SpurGuard™ Short Circuit Protectors

Short Circuit Protection for Fieldbus

A SpurGuard™ is a current-limiting device that provides short circuit protection to the Fieldbus segment. By attaching a SpurGuard™ at each point where a field transmitter attaches to the segment home run cable, the network is isolated from individual device or spur failures.

A red LED indicates when a SpurGuard™ is providing overcurrent protection.

These SpurGuards™ are only used on our Legacy Fieldbus interconnection blocks. The newer Megablock Series are available with built-in SpurGuards™.
