Auto","description":"\u003ch2\u003eVictron 3600W Isolation Transformer: Marine-Grade Galvanic Corrosion Prevention with Auto-Sensing Voltage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEngineered Safety for Onboard AC Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eVictron 3600W Isolation Transformer\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a critical safety barrier between shore power and your vessel's electrical system. By completely isolating the boat from the shore ground, it eliminates the risk of \u003cstrong\u003egalvanic corrosion\u003c\/strong\u003e that can silently destroy propellers, shafts, and through-hull fittings. This is not just a convenience; it is a fundamental protection for any boat connected to AC shore power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike \u003cstrong\u003egalvanic isolators\u003c\/strong\u003e that only partially block low-voltage DC currents, a full isolation transformer breaks the electrical continuity entirely. This ensures that your sacrificial anodes are not rapidly consumed and that your underwater metals remain intact, even in marinas with poor shore-power grounding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAuto-Sensing 115\/230V Input for Global Cruising\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model automatically detects the incoming shore voltage and configures itself accordingly. When connected to a supply between 88V and 130V, it switches to 115V mode; for supplies between 185V and 250V, it engages 230V mode. This \u003cstrong\u003eauto-sensing capability\u003c\/strong\u003e makes it ideal for vessels that travel between regions with different shore power standards, eliminating manual switching and reducing the risk of equipment damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transformer also provides a slight voltage boost with its 1:1.05 ratio, compensating for voltage drop in long shore-power cables and ensuring your onboard appliances receive a stable supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSoft Start Technology Protects Shore Power Breakers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge transformers can draw a significant inrush current when first energised, often tripping marina breakers. The integrated \u003cstrong\u003esoft start\u003c\/strong\u003e circuit in this Victron unit limits that initial surge, allowing a smooth connection every time. This feature is especially valuable in older marinas with sensitive breakers, preventing frustrating power interruptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for the Marine Environment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoused in a robust aluminium enclosure with a corrosion-resistant blue finish (RAL 5012), this transformer is rated IP21 for protection against dripping water. The toroidal core design minimises audible hum and reduces weight compared to traditional laminated transformers, making installation easier in tight engine rooms or lazarettes. Recessed handles on the sides allow for safe lifting and positioning of the 21.7 kg unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom-entry compression glands provide secure, strain-relieved cable connections, maintaining the integrity of the wiring even in high-vibration marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete galvanic isolation eliminates shore-power ground connection, preventing corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic 115\/230V input detection for worldwide compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft start circuit prevents nuisance tripping of shore breakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToroidal transformer design for low noise and reduced weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:1.05 voltage ratio compensates for cable voltage drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobust IP21 aluminium enclosure with recessed handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32A output at 115V, 16A at 230V for versatile load handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications Beyond Basic Isolation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile primarily designed for marine use, this transformer is also suitable for industrial and mobile applications where galvanic isolation is required. It can be configured as a step-up or step-down transformer: 115V to 120V, 230V to 240V, 115V to 240V, or 230V to 120V. This flexibility makes it a valuable component in custom power systems for workshops, remote sites, or specialised equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor optimal safety, it is recommended to connect the secondary neutral to ground when the vessel is out of the water, ensuring full GFCI functionality during maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProtect Your Investment with Proven Victron Engineering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGalvanic corrosion is a silent threat that can lead to costly repairs. Installing a Victron isolation transformer is a proactive measure that safeguards your vessel's underwater metals and enhances onboard electrical safety. With its automatic voltage sensing, soft start, and rugged construction, this unit is a reliable choice for serious cruisers and marine professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEquip your boat with the isolation it needs.
