Today, optocouplers are a ubiquitous electronic component, found in almost any piece of electrical equipment and in most industry segments. Since their introduction over twenty five years ago, ...

Insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) require full protection to avoid damage and failures resulting from conditions such as short circuits, overloads and overvoltages. The protection is key to ...

Vishay has introduced a precision isolation amplifier with 5kVrms isolation test voltage and 150kV/μs typical (100kV/μs min) common-mode transient immunity: VIA0050DD. “Isolation amplifiers in the VIA ...

Electric motors that are either poorly maintained or which lack the proper electrical protection are the second greatest cause of electrical fires. So says the Factory Mutual Research Corp., a ...

Isolation amplifier is a device that electrically isolates two circuits. In another terms, there is no direct electrical connection between the two circuits. Isolation amplifiers are used in a variety ...

Isolation is a means of preventing current from flowing between two communicating points. Typically, isolation is used in two situations. The first is where there's the potential for current surges ...
