  • Dual galvanic isolation barriers and monitoring systems and methods
    Patent number: 9829531
    Abstract: A system includes a first galvanic isolator, a second galvanic isolator, a sensor, and a monitoring module. The first galvanic isolator includes a first electrical insulator. The second galvanic isolator is connected in series with the first galvanic isolator and includes a second electrical insulator. The sensor generates a first output signal based on an electrical characteristic of one of the first and second electrical insulators. The monitoring module, based on the first output signal, selectively generates a signal indicative of a failure of at least one of the first and second electrical insulators.
    Type: Grant
