5.2. Isolated power supply
Another way of protecting the DAQ device is the usage of the “DS isoPower 75W”. This box includes a
DC/DC converter which galvanically isolates the power supply input of the DAQ System (the example
shows the DEWE-43 V). Due to the isolation, no error current is possible through the supply line.

The final result is the same: reverse polarity protection of the supply line.
Hint
This isolated power supply device is useful only with an older hardware. All new Dewesoft
devices have the power supply input isolated.
