Abstract
Isolation circuits, turbine data acquisition systems, and related methods are disclosed. One example isolation circuit includes a voltage divider circuit for coupling to an operational sensor, a clamping circuit connected to said voltage divider circuit and a gain circuit connected to said clamping circuit. The voltage divider circuit is configured to divide an amplitude of a signal received from the sensor. The clamping circuit is configured to limit voltage from said voltage divider circuit. The gain circuit includes an output. The isolation circuit provides a single-ended output signal to the output of the gain circuit as a function of the sensor signal and independent of ground.
