Technical Details
Isolation
The VCP1100 is electrically isolated, so a power surge in the circuit you're measuring would only damage the VCP1100- it won't
damage your VINT Hub or your computer unless it exceeds the board's isolation voltage (50V) . Having isolation also helps
prevent the formation of ground loops in your system.
