GM International intrinsic safe isolators

NHP has been appointed the Australia/New Zealand distributor for GM International, which is based out of Italy and a specialist manufacturer of intrinsic safe isolators to support field devices in hazardous areas.

Used in hazardous area applications, intrinsic safe isolators are typically used between PLC or DCS systems and field devices. Their purpose is to ensure that electrical circuits that have low power requirements such as instrumentation, sensors and limit switches, don’t carry enough energy to create a spark sufficient to ignite an explosive environment.

The GM offering includes a wide range of intrinsic safe isolators to suit 4-20 mA analog devices, digital devices with up to 8 channels per isolator, and specialty isolators for communications wiring, load cells, temperature measurement devices and more.
