ABSTRACT:
Energy limiting, bidirectional signal passage, bandpass filtering, and DC isolation is provided in an intrinsically safe manner, for electrical signals coupled between various electrical equipment located both outside and within a storage tank containing highly combustible matter, for example, via apparatus including a ferrite core transformer potted within a cavity of an explosion proof housing mounted upon a wall of the tank, whereby one winding of the transformer is connected to the outside equipment, and another winding of the transformer is connected to equipment located within the tank.
