This post is in response to a reader who asked about detecting mains electricity using a microcontroller. The easiest and safest way to detect mains electricity using a microcontroller is with an ...

Isolation is a means of preventing direct current (DC) and unwanted alternating current (AC) between two parts of a system, while still allowing a signal and power transfer between those two parts.
