Galvanic Isolation

Description:

Galvanic isolation refers to the practice of electrically separating two or more circuits to prevent undesirable flow of electrical currents between them. It is achieved by using devices like transformers, opto-isolators, or digital isolators, which provide a barrier between circuits while allowing signal transmission.

Sample Sentences:

1. The use of galvanic isolation in medical equipment ensures patient safety by preventing hazardous currents from flowing into the body.
2. Industrial control systems often employ galvanic isolation to protect sensitive components from electrical noise or interference.
3. With galvanic isolation, data communication between two devices can be achieved without compromising system integrity.
4. This USB-to-Isolated RS485 Converter utilizes galvanic isolation to prevent ground loops and optimize signal transmission.
