An active barrier uses transformers, optoisolators or relays to provide isolation between the hazardous area and the non-hazardous area.
It does not require an intrinsically safe ground connection. Either or both the hazardous area or the non-hazardous area signals may be grounded.
This may be the most logical barrier choice if a high quality I.S. grounding point is not available.
The below Figure shows a diagram of an active barrier. The barrier requires a 24 VDC power supply, and can typically drive larger loads than a loop powered zener barrier.
