If you’re a person that’s working in a dangerous, high voltage area, you might take a pause and think about whether you have the right electrical protection. If the designers of the systems around you ...

An engineered solution to industrial speed and position control applications for hazardous environments is available with the Intrinsic Safety Barrier. Designed to complement the company’s UL, cUL and ...

Often you need to take a measurement from an isolated sensor. The classic way to do this was to send the analog signal across the isolation boundary, perhaps with an optocoupler or an instrumentation ...

AutomationDirect has added more intrinsically safe isolation barriers from STAHL. These modules ensure only a safe amount of energy resides in an electrical circuit, installed in a potentially ...

There is a common misconception that optocouplers will always fail with an “open” circuit when a high-voltage event breaks the device. Although there are many ways that an optocoupler can fail open, ...
