Vibration Transducer Interface

Description
The Vibration Transducer Interface (VTI) is a galvanic isolation solution provided
by GEs Bently Nevada product line. With the use of galvanic isolation, an earth
ground is not required in the hazardous area. Isolating transformers used in the
galvanic isolation technique provide a physical barrier to prevent high voltages
from being transferred from the safe area to the hazardous area. The safe area
and hazardous area are isolated from each other, and can have two separate
grounding points without the possibility of ground loops occurring.

The Vibration Transducer Interface has been designed, engineered, and

manufactured by Measurement Technology Limited to our design specifications.

The Vibration Transducer Interface incorporates three-port isolation. The

transducer, monitor, and power supply circuits each have separate grounding
points, since the three circuits are isolated from each other. Therefore, +24 Vdc
plant power, with its own ground, can be used to provide power to the Vibration
Transducer Interface without creating ground loops. With the use of our1800/10
power supplies, 110 Vac or 220 Vac can also be used to power the Vibration
Transducer Interface. Two power supplies can be installed in one housing.

The following Bently Nevada transducer systems can be used with the Vibration
Transducer Interface:

3300 XL Proximity Transducer System
