transformer - How to properly isolate multiple power supplies


Say you have a single 110V AC supply and need to use it for a number of devices, each requiring very different characterists. For me personally these are: a direct use of the 110V AC supply for a computer, a very stable yet variable high-voltage supply (up to 2.5kV, low DC current) to power some photo-multiplier tubes, and a 5V DC supply for a DAQ board.


My question is therefore, how should one connect the respective transformers and rectifiers to ensure there was no feeback from one output to another and that the setup is as safe possible?


I guess, in other words, what I'm asking is: what are the necessary considerations and equipment one should employ to safely use a single AC supply for a diverse range of multiple devices?


By "safely" here I mean for the equipment to be placed in a commercial / industrial environment and therefore necessarily complying with 'standard' safety regulations.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
