This application note introduces a variety of Allegro current sensors used for voltage isolation in variable frequency drives. These current sensors help achieve high isolation ratings that meet ...

Avago Technologies announced the availability of a new family of optically-isolated voltage sensors. This family is the industry’s first series of optical isolation amplifiers based on sigma-delta ...

In designs where high voltage (HV) or current is present, it’s necessary to take steps to reduce the potential risk to users. These steps traditionally include insulation, grounding, and the isolation ...

With the right equipment and training, it’s possible to safely work on energized power lines in the 500 kV range with bare hands. Most of us, though, don’t have the right equipment or training, and ...

When we were children, my sister had a lamp with a yellow plastic base topped with a white globe in her bedroom—very cool, very 1960s. I loved turning it on and watching the globe glow. One day the ...

Accepts all common North American single-phase voltages Isolated 120V output at up to 0.625A Optional electrostatic shield between primary and secondary windings The Model 16531 multi-voltage ...

A three dimensional seismic isolation system was developed and experimentally validated for high-voltage electric power transformers of weight in the range of 300 to 800kip. Although the validation ...

Those who work in different spaces may have different definitions of the term “high voltage”. For someone working on the GPIO pins of a Raspberry Pi it might be as little as 5 volts, someone working ...

Today, 80% of all input/output (I/O) devices in automation applications are supplied with 24VDC power. The second most popular voltage is 120VAC, which is used on 15% of all I/Os. Over the past decade ...

New data underscore that electrical isolation of the left atrial appendage (LAA) during catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is a man-made risk factor for stroke. They also suggest that ...
