An isolation transformer is a type of transformer designed to electrically separate the input power source from the output load. Unlike regular step-up or step-down transformers, its main purpose is safety, protection, and noise reduction, rather than voltage conversion.
Key Features:
Electrical Isolation:Isolation transformers separate primary and secondary circuits, preventing direct current flow between the source and the load. This enhances personnel safety and protects sensitive equipment.
Noise Reduction:They filter out electrical noise and transients, improving the performance of connected devices, particularly in medical, industrial, and IT applications.
Voltage Stabilization:Isolation transformers provide stable voltage, preventing spikes or surges from affecting the load.
Applications:
