Isolation Transformers
Isolation transformers are used to reduce or eliminate noise and create the equivalent of a dedicated or isolated ground circuit. An isolation transformer does not impart stepping voltage or current increases or decreases. The "shielding" feature of isolation transformers furthers the assurance that stepping voltage and current rise and fall does not allow power line or electromagnetic noise. Stand-alone isolation transformers serve the purpose of removing common mode noise.
Isolation transformers are used in applications such as audio systems, avionics, data communications, industrial control panels, medical electronics, light fixtures, motor controls, robotics, test and measurement systems, and uninterrupted power supplies (UPS), among others.
