Hi,
I come across this term galvanic seperation is this reffered to optocoupler?
Thanks

RE: Galvanic seperation
Galvanic isolation means you break the copper circuit thru any means you want to.
Transformers, Optocouplers, Fiber optics, Radio, Infra red, whatever.

RE: Galvanic seperation
A transistor, on the other hand, does not offer galvanic isolation between control circuit (base) and controlled circuit (collector). They share common paths and you cannot have any substantial voltage difference, especially not AC, between base and collector or emitter.

RE: Galvanic seperation
It could mean that too! But in an electrical forum it means what we've all said.
Go over to a materials forum and they would probably assume it means isolation between dissimilar metals.
