In some hazardous area applications, the loss of ground fault detection in non-safe field circuits is unacceptable. Such cases require
the implementation of DC isolators. These devices provide three part isolation between the initiating circuit input, output and power
supply circuits of each unit. Also intrinsic safety is provided without the need for special earth grounding which reduces the cost in
most installations.
%&(*%$
Intrinsic Safety is accomplished through DC isolation provided by a small ferrite current limited transformer and demodulators.
With this segregation spikes and other circuit abnormalities that occur in the non-safe (primary side) areas are eliminated due to the
transformer isolation from the safe (secondary side) area circuit. When the secondary loop is shorted by a Protectowire activation,
the primary attempts to compensate for the additional current drain of the secondary by drawing more current from the initiating
circuit activating it into an alarm. If the secondary is opened through a wiring fault, the primary compensates by decreasing the
current drain on the initiating circuit resulting in a trouble indication.
