Optical fiber
The use of electro-optical signal isolators between the islands isolates the ground loop.
Within the islands, a stable equipotential bonding prevents equalizing currents on the
cable shields.
Measures for small system installations
For smaller installations with only slight potential differences, insulated mounting of the
device and peripheral devices may be an adequate solution.
