B-2 Using Grounded Junction, Ungrounded Junction, and Exposed Junction Thermocouples
Grounded Junction
Ungrounded (Insulated) Junction
Exposed Junction
Isolation
The 1746-NT8 module provides the following electrical isolation:
• 12.5V dc electrical isolation channel-to-channel
• 500V dc electrical isolation channel-to-chassis ground
• 500V dc electrical isolation channel-to-backplane
Care must be taken when choosing a thermocouple type and
connecting it to the 1746-NT8 module from the environment being
measured. If adequate precautions are not taken for a given
thermocouple type, the electrical isolation of the 1746-NT8 module
may be compromised.
