An isolation transformer is a safety device that electrically separates the input from the output, preventing direct current flow while allowing AC power transfer—widely used in sensitive equipment, medical devices, and lab testing.
- Galvanic isolation between primary and secondary windings
- Prevents electrical shock and suppresses transients or noise
- Input and output voltages are typically the same (e.g., 230V to 230V)
- Enhances safety during the maintenance and testing of electrical devices
- Reduces ground loop interference in audio, video, and measurement systems
- Available in various power ratings (e.g., 100VA to several kVA)
- Suitable for industrial, laboratory, medical, and communication systems
- Often includes shielding for improved EMI/RFI suppression
