Relay isolation refers to the method of electrically isolating the control side of a relay from the power side. It is typically achieved using a physical barrier or a dielectric material that prevents the flow of current between different sections of a system. The isolation ensures that high-voltage circuits do not directly interact with low-voltage circuits, which is essential for preventing damage to sensitive components and minimizing the risks associated with electrical faults.

    Why is Relay Isolation Important?

    Relay isolation is vital for several reasons. First and foremost, it enhances the safety of both users and equipment. In the event of a fault or surge, the isolation ensures that the control circuitry remains protected from potentially damaging electrical energy. Without isolation, a fault could propagate through the system, causing widespread damage or even triggering catastrophic failures.
