    Relay isolation is a crucial concept in electrical and electronic systems, ensuring safe and efficient operation of circuits and protecting sensitive components from electrical faults. In this article, we will explore what relay isolation is, how it works, and why it is important in various applications.

Relay isolation

    What is Relay Isolation?
    Relay isolation refers to the separation between the control side of a relay and the load side, typically achieved using electromagnetic components or optical isolation. Relays are electrical switches that open or close circuits under the control of an external signal. The isolation aspect prevents direct electrical contact between the control side, usually involving low-voltage components, and the load side, which may deal with high voltages or currents. This isolation serves to protect sensitive circuits from voltage spikes, noise, or potential damage caused by faults on the load side.
