Victron Energy Galvanic Isolator VDI-16/32/64

Victron Energy Galvanic Isolator VDI-16/32/64

The Victron Energy Galvanic Isolator VDI-16/32/64 is a vital component for protecting your boat from electrolytic corrosion, which can be caused by low-voltage currents that enter through the grounding wire. These unwanted currents can cause serious damage to underwater metals such as the hull, propeller, and shaft. By using this isolator, you can prevent corrosion and extend the lifespan of your boat's underwater components.

Key Features:

• Corrosion Protection: The galvanic isolator ensures that harmful low-voltage currents do not enter the boat through the grounding wire, protecting submerged metals from corrosion.
• Diode-Based Technology: The isolator features two diodes connected in opposite parallel. These diodes only allow current to pass when the voltage exceeds approximately 1.4V DC, preventing the passage of harmful currents.
• Safe Operation: If an erroneous high voltage is present in the AC network, the diodes will allow current to pass, and the residual current device (RCD) will safely open the circuit to protect the system.
• Easy Installation: Typically installed directly behind the 230V connection on your boat, providing seamless integration into your electrical system.
• Voltage Threshold: The internal composition ensures that the isolator effectively blocks voltage-induced conductivity, allowing proper current flow only when necessary.
