Single and dual-channel galvanic isolation for 0/4–20 mA loops — powered entirely by the input loop, with no auxiliary supply required.
Automation is not only a matter of efficiency — it also means increasing the safety and longevity of your operation. Reducing measurement errors in installations subject to electrical potential differences protects both employees and equipment from possible damage.
TxIsoLoop-1 and TxIsoLoop-2 simplify your application and eliminate undesirable ground loops by providing single and dual-loop galvanic isolation. The 0/4–20 mA input is measured and an identical isolated signal is reproduced at the output. Power is drawn directly from the 0(4)–20 mA input loop, so no auxiliary power or external power supply is needed.
Recommended for electrical grids where electric potential difference is a major risk, the TxIsoLoop galvanic isolator works on up to two isolated channels and eliminates ground loops — ensuring accuracy and signal safety.
The energy obtained from the electric current passing through the isolator input actively produces the output current — so the isolation needs no power supply of its own. Indispensable for industrial environments such as sugar and alcohol processing or petrochemicals, it operates with a response time of just 2 ms.
