This video will give an introduction to the fundamentals of galvanic isolation. We will discuss what galvanic isolation is, why it is used, and a brief introduction to how isolation is achieved through digital, inductive and optical technologies by answering the following questions:

• What is galvanic isolation?
• When is galvanic isolation needed?
• What are the methods of isolation?
• What are isolation technologies?
• How do I know if my system needs galvanic isolation?
