An isolation transformer protects both circuits and individuals from electrical shock by providing galvanic isolation between the input and output. This device prevents direct electrical connection, ensuring that any fault current does not flow through the user or sensitive equipment. The transformer operates by using electromagnetic induction to transfer power while isolating the secondary circuit from the primary circuit, effectively reducing the risk of electric shock and equipment damage.
PREREQUISITESElectrical engineers, safety professionals, and anyone involved in designing or maintaining electrical systems that require protection from shock hazards.
