A galvanic isolator allows significant current to pass through the shore power ground, but it blocks minor voltages common in marina ground wires to protect your boat’s metal from stray-current ...

Many new designs today absolutely require galvanic isolation between two or more pieces of equipment, or between two critical sections of a single product or system. If you haven’t done this before, ...

The worldwide proliferation of electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EVs and HEVs), which must withstand higher operating voltages and currents than gasoline-powered vehicles, has underscored the ...

Galvanic isolation refers to the principle of electrically isolating the output power circuit from the input power circuit for safety purposes and to prevent shock hazards. In this article, TI’s ...

Galvanic isolation techniques are fundamental to modern power transfer systems, providing safe and reliable separation between high-voltage and low-voltage domains while enabling energy and data ...

I recently saw a boat hauled out that had hot-pink propellers and shaft nuts. There were no zincs left, and the pink was a sure sign of a “hot boat.” It reminded me of an incident we had years ago on ...

We work with some dangerous circuits in the pursuit of cool hacks. High voltage, high current, all demand some respect. We can protect our bodies easily enough, but what about that fancy new laptop or ...

X-FAB is enhancing its galvanic isolation technology by building on its process optimised for discrete capacitive or inductive couplers so that it can now be used to bring existing galvanic isolation ...

The automotive-grade device developed by Vishay supports isolation voltages of up to 5,000 V RMS, staying on top of 800-V ...
