Split 4-20mA Loops without a Loop Splitter

Save money! Don't buy a loop splitter if you don't need one.

Users often specify dual-output 4-2omA current loop splitters in their systems. Common reasons include:

• The need for an output boost to drive several loads at once.


• The need to run independent isolated current loops to two different systems.
  

These needs often can be met with a less-expensive single-loop isolator. The diagram shows the basic idea - use the source transmitter to drive the isolator's input plus the first loop, then use the isolator's output to drive the second loop.
