Isolators definition

What is an Isolator

Isolators are devices used to ensure that a circuit is completely powered down in order for it to be serviced or maintained. Digital Isolator Switches isolate a given part of the circuit by cutting off its electrical supply, making it safe for service or maintenance. As one of switch circuit types, the electrical isolator is generally used to involve high voltage devices like transformers.

Types of Isolators

Due to different application requirements, there are several isolator types, such as Pantograph isolator, single break isolator and double break isolator. Among them, Pantograph isolators include 3 types of isolators: Line Side Isolator, Bus Side Isolator and Transfer Bus Side Isolator.
