GIT100 Transformer
GROUND LOOP ISOLATION
Product Features
• Passive Device
• Wide Bandwidth
• Attenuates Ground Loop Interference
• Compatible with Coaxitron® Control Systems
• Easily Added to Existing Systems
The
GIT100
is a ground loop isolation transformer which reduces
ground loop interference in video signals and can easily be added to
existing systems. The
mode isolation at power line frequencies, but passes signal
frequencies from DC to over 200 MHz.
The
GIT100
is useful where a video signal is transmitted via cable
between points with different ground potentials. Differences in
ground potentials are typically caused by unbalanced power line
loads, and the peak-to-peak magnitude may vary from zero to more
than ten volts. The larger voltages are common for distances of a
few thousand feet, not for small separations. Potentials of greater
than 0.5 Vp-p are commonly found between two points in the same
building.
GIT100
provides a high degree of common
Because the
GIT100
is passive and weatherproof, it can be
conveniently located anywhere in your coax cable where ground
loop potentials exist. More than one unit can and may be needed in
situations where ground loop potential exceeds 10 Vp-p.
The
GIT100
was developed to minimize problems stemming from
the existence of ground loop potentials (common mode voltages). In
addition to providing an effective reduction of common mode
voltages (CMV) at power line frequencies, it is even more effective
at higher frequencies.
The
GIT100
is especially suited for use with Coaxitron
systems because the passive design allows for bi-directional
transmission of control and video signals.

INSTALLATION
Although the GIT100 does not perform in all the manners of classical
transformers, installation requirements are similar. A transformer must be
placed between any two points where the cable shield is grounded and
common mode voltage exists.
The GIT100 may be placed anywhere in your video signal cable. This allows
convenience to dictate its location. More than one unit can be utilized in
situations where the CMV exceeds 10 Vp-p.
Table I and Figure 1 show that common mode rejection is inversely
proportional to cable length and approximately proportional to the third root
of frequency (rejection increases at approximately 6 dB per decade).
