Victron Energy Isolation Transformer 7000W 230V Marine Galvanic Isolator EAN 8719076022442
The Victron Energy Isolation Transformer 7000W 230V is a professional-grade isolation transformer designed for marine electrical systems. This heavy-duty safety transformer establishes a complete electrical and galvanic isolation between the shore power connection and the onboard electrical network. By severing the common ground, it effectively prevents destructive electrolytic corrosion on the underwater metal parts of your boat or yacht, significantly expanding vessel lifespan.
Toroidal Technology and Features This advanced power supply protection unit utilizes toroidal transformer technology, ensuring outstanding efficiency, a low weight of 31 kg, and whisper-quiet operation. A critical built-in feature is the soft-start functionality, which serves as an inrush current limiter. This prevents the shore-side circuit breaker from tripping when plugging into dockside power. Furthermore, the output voltage is slightly elevated by a 1:1.05 ratio to automatically compensate for voltage drops across long shore cables in marinas.
Key Specifications and Benefits
-
Maximum onboard safety via a comprehensive galvanic break between shore and vessel grounds.
-
Integrated soft-start device eliminates unwanted shore power breaker tripping during startup.
-
Robust aluminum enclosure featuring an IP21 rating and internal thermal overload protection.
-
Ideally integrated with marine smart chargers, inverters, or uninterruptible UPS networks.
Installation and Operating Instructions Mount the Victron isolation transformer vertically onto a solid, non-flammable surface with adequate cooling clearance. Wire the incoming AC shore power cord to the internal input terminals and connect the output terminals to your main onboard distribution panel. Establish correct grounding following local marine electrical safety standards. Switch on the shore power supply; the automatic soft-start mechanism will safely power up the transformer and deliver clean, corrosion-free electricity to the boat.
