Features

• Ensuring the accurate transfer of signals between various components, such as sensors and transducers. It isolates the control system from electrical interference that can disrupt the system’s performance. By performing this isolation, the board helps maintain the integrity of the data and prevents malfunctions in the system, ensuring continuous, efficient operation of power plant machinery.
• Offers several benefits in terms of signal integrity and system reliability. By isolating signals, the board reduces the risk of damage to sensitive control equipment caused by electrical surges or transients. This protection ensures that the overall control system remains stable, minimizing downtime and enhancing the safety and efficiency of the power plant. Furthermore, the isolation provided by the board also protects the control system’s input and output circuits, preventing potential failures due to short circuits or overloads.
• By isolating electrical signals, it enhances the accuracy of measurements and helps in maintaining precise control over turbine operations. This results in more efficient energy production and contributes to the longevity of the equipment, making it a crucial component in maintaining the smooth operation of modern power plants.
