The EV5-255 is a compact 5 cable, safety critical device, AC/DC Galvanic Isolator, for IRS installations where
separate sections of the system require being electrically isolated from each other. This is especially important
where different parts of a system are powered and earthed on different phases of the mains electrical supply.
This is a very important safety consideration, especially where different blocks are joined by coaxial cables and
powered by different electricity mains supply. AC current will not pass the EV5-255 galvanic isolator in any
direction.
EV5-255 can also be used to isolate or block DC power in different parts of a system. Where power consumption
in a section of a system exceeds that of the power supply the EV5-255 can isolate one power source from
another. This is especially important where adding power hungry devices to an existing system. For example
dSCR multiswitches are notoriously power hungry and may overload a system if connected directly to the trunk
cables carrying power to the rest of the system. DC current will not pass the EV5-255 galvanic isolator in any
direction.
