What is difference between Isolator and Barrier ?
Barriers are used in Hazardous locations to power Intrinsic
Safe instruments. The barrier will reduce the available
loop current to a level that cannot produce a spark.
An Isolator is used to connect signals of different common
mode voltage for example a transmitter signal may be
referenced to +24 whereas the DCS may be referenced to
ground.
You can also have an isolator that is designed for use in
Intrinsic Safe circuit.
