Questions often arise about isolating transformers. Isolating transformers are those transformers in which the output voltage is most often equal to the input voltage. They provide galvanic isolation between the primary and secondary windings.
Isolating transformers are used wherever protection against electric shock from earth fault current is required. Their task is to prevent electric shock while no other protective measures are present (e.g. residual current devices). A particularly clear example of the use of the transformer’s shock-protection properties is working with power tools in conductive locations – for example near metal tanks, or working in locations with restricted freedom of movement.
The wide range of BREVE transformers includes single-phase, three-phase, enclosed, DIN rail models as well as portable units for power tools.
