Abstract

A galvanic isolator is disclosed, which comprises a plurality of semiconducting elements, earth connecting means for connecting the plurality of semiconducting elements to at least two sources of electric potential having a current flow there between and control means adapted to switch the plurality of semiconducting elements into a low impedance state when a threshold voltage of the galvanic isolator is exceeded. The galvanic isolator further comprises an electronic bypass element adapted to bypass the plurality of semiconducting elements, and an electronic control circuit adapted to monitor the current flowing through the earth connecting means and to switch the electronic bypass element from a high resistance state suitable for a current flow below a first preset level, to a very low resistance state when the current flow increases above the first preset level. A method of reducing the power dissipation of a galvanic isolator is also disclosed.
