Victron Galvanic Isolator VDI-32

SKU: GDI000032000

Keep your boat’s underwater metals safe and sound with the Victron Galvanic Isolator. Designed to prevent electrolytic corrosion, this innovative device blocks low voltage DC currents that enter your boat via the shore power earth wire. By effectively managing these currents, the Galvanic Isolator safeguards vital components such as the hull, propeller, and shaft, ensuring their longevity and performance. Say goodbye to the worries of corrosion and hello to peace of mind on the water.

Features:

  • Effectively prevents electrolytic corrosion by blocking low voltage DC currents
  • Features two diodes connected in antiparallel fashion
  • Designed with a forward voltage higher than the potential difference between metals
  • Enhanced safety measures with a built-in residual-current device that breaks the circuit in the presence of higher error voltages

Description

Reliable Corrosion Protection with the Victron Galvanic Isolator VDI-32

Ensure the longevity and performance of your boat by investing in the Victron Galvanic Isolator. Designed to prevent electrolytic corrosion, this advanced device effectively blocks low voltage DC currents that can enter your boat via the shore power earth wire, safeguarding your vessel’s underwater metals such as the hull, propeller, shaft, and more.

How Does It Work?

The Victron Galvanic Isolator features a clever internal configuration consisting of two diodes connected in antiparallel fashion. This setup allows current to flow in both directions, but only above a specific threshold voltage of approximately 1.4 Vdc. The galvanic isolator, with its innovative design, effectively blocks harmful currents that may lead to electrolytic corrosion while allowing only harmless currents to pass through.

Key Features:

  • Robust Corrosion Protection: The galvanic isolator acts as a reliable barrier against low voltage DC currents that can cause corrosive damage to your boat’s underwater metals.
  • Seamless Installation: This isolator is conveniently installed directly behind your boat’s 230V connection, making it easily accessible.
  • Foolproof Operation: The forward voltage of the galvanic isolator exceeds the potential difference between metals, preventing conduction and thereby neutralizing any electrolytic current. Additionally, in the event of a higher error voltage in the AC circuit, the diodes within the isolator will allow current to flow, triggering the residual-current device to break the circuit.

Installation Made Easy

Installing the Victron Galvanic Isolator is a breeze. You can seamlessly integrate this compact device into your power system by placing it conveniently behind your boat’s 230V connection. Its forward voltage surpasses the potential difference between metals, effectively preventing conduction and eliminating electrolytic currents. Should an error voltage occur, the diodes will allow the current to flow and the residual-current device will break the circuit.

Enhanced Safety Measures

If there’s a higher error voltage in the AC circuit, the diodes within the isolator allow current to pass through. However, thanks to the presence of a residual-current device, the circuit is promptly broken, ensuring protection against any potential hazards. With the Victron Galvanic Isolator, you can trust that your boat’s electrical system remains secure and reliable.
