Galvanic Isolator

What does a Galvanic Isolator do?

Galvanic isolation is used in situations where two or more electric circuits must communicate, but their grounds may be at different potentials. it is an effective method of breaking ground loops by preventing unwanted current from travelling between two units sharing a ground conductor. Galvanic isolation is also used for safety considerations, preventing accidental current from reaching the ground through a person's body.
