2. Ground loop (electricity) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_loop_(electricity)

   The symptoms of a ground loop, ground noise and hum in electrical equipment, are caused by current flowing in the ground or shield conductor of a cable. Fig. 1 shows a signal cable S linking two electronic components, including the typical line driver and receiver amplifiers (triangles). [5]

3. Galvanic isolation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_isolation

   Everlight EL817 phototransistor opto-isolator in DIP-4 package Halo TG110-S050N2RL 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet pulse transformer in SO-16 package, with the underside shown on the right. Galvanic isolation is a principle of isolating functional sections of electrical systems to prevent current flow; no direct conduction path is permitted.

4. Isolation transformer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_transformer

   Isolation transformers are also used for the power supply of devices not at ground potential. An example is the Austin transformer for the power supply of air-traffic obstacle warning lamps on radio antenna masts. Without the isolation transformer, the lighting circuits on the mast would conduct radio-frequency energy to ground through the ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ground_loop_solution...

   The ground shield of S, along with the ground wire ("third wire") P in the components' power cord and the building's utility ground wiring G form a ground loop. One of the best ways to prevent such a ground loop is to insert an isolation transformer in the signal cable S, as shown. The transformer breaks the conductive path between the ground ...

6. Network isolator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_isolator

   The network isolator is a passive device, and functions without any requirement of an external power supply. A functional equivalent to network isolators is Ethernet over a small stretch of optical fibre, using media converters or Ethernet switches/network cards with fiber connections on each end.

7. Opto-isolator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opto-isolator

   Schematic diagram of an opto-isolator showing source of light (LED) on the left, dielectric barrier in the center, and sensor (phototransistor) on the right [note 1]. An opto-isolator (also called an optocoupler, photocoupler, or optical isolator) is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light. [1]
