By breaking the metallic connection between the shore-side supply and your onboard AC system, it prevents \u003cstrong\u003egalvanic corrosion\u003c\/strong\u003e and ensures reliable operation of safety devices such as GFCIs and circuit breakers. This model features automatic detection and switching between \u003cstrong\u003e115V and 230V input\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it suitable for international cruising or variable marina supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike standard transformers, this unit incorporates a \u003cstrong\u003esoft start circuit\u003c\/strong\u003e that limits inrush current, preventing nuisance tripping of shore-side breakers. The toroidal core design reduces weight and audible noise while maintaining high efficiency, and the 1:1.05 winding ratio compensates for voltage drop over long cable runs, delivering a stable \u003cstrong\u003e120V or 240V output\u003c\/strong\u003e to your onboard equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Galvanic Isolation Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a vessel connects to shore power, the shore earth conductor bonds to the boat's metal components, creating a path for stray currents. This accelerates corrosion of underwater metals such as propellers, shafts, and through-hull fittings, even on fibreglass hulls. Sacrificial anodes deplete rapidly, and critical components face premature failure. The Victron Isolation Transformer eliminates this pathway by magnetically coupling energy while maintaining complete galvanic separation between shore and vessel grounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, without isolation, a shore-side ground fault can energise the boat's bonding system, posing a shock hazard. The transformer's secondary winding establishes a new onboard neutral-to-ground bond, ensuring that GFCIs and overcurrent devices function correctly, protecting both equipment and personnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic 115\/230V input detection\u003c\/strong\u003e – adapts to global shore power without manual switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft start technology\u003c\/strong\u003e – eliminates high inrush currents that trip marina breakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToroidal transformer design\u003c\/strong\u003e – low weight, compact size, and minimal audible hum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1:1.05 voltage boost\u003c\/strong\u003e – compensates for cable losses, ensuring full voltage at the panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP21 aluminium enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e – corrosion-resistant powder coating for marine environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComprehensive safety compliance\u003c\/strong\u003e – meets EN 60076, suitable for global installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for Harsh Marine Environments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transformer is housed in a durable aluminium case with a blue RAL 5012 powder-coated finish, providing excellent resistance to salt spray and humidity. Rated for operation in temperatures from -20°C to 40°C and up to 95% non-condensing humidity, it withstands the demanding conditions found in engine rooms and lazarettes.
