Isolation transformer Victron 3600W auto 115/230V - ITR050362041

The Victron 3600W auto 115/230V isolation transformer - ITR050362041, often overlooked, plays a vital role in the electrical installation of a boat. Its main function is to electrically separate the on-board mains from the shore power and prevent corrosion by electrolysis.

Why choose the Victron 3600W auto 115/230V isolation transformer - ITR050362041

• Security in Household Installations vs: In homes, electrical safety is achieved by means of grounding and breaking devices. However, on boats, grounding is not feasible. Only an isolation transformer can provide similar protection.
• Electrolysis corrosion: Electrolysis corrosion is a serious problem caused by the potential difference between metals in contact with a conductive liquid, such as seawater. When a vessel is connected to the shore power, a current is initiated that damages the metals.
• Universality of the Problem: Contrary to common belief, electrolysis corrosion is not limited to steel or aluminum boats. Any metal part in contact with water, such as propellers, is at risk when connected to the shore power.
• Potential Risks: Connecting a vessel to the shore supply without adequate protection can generate dangerous voltages in the metal parts and render the differential protection ineffective.
• Effective Solution: An isolation transformer is the optimal solution for powering a vessel from the shore supply safely and without risk of corrosion by electrolysis. It electrically isolates the vessel from the mains supply.
• Isolation Transformer Operation: This type of transformer uses separate windings to transmit electricity without direct contact with the shore power. It creates an isolated ground suitable for the vessel, connecting all metal parts on board. This ensures full protection and allows differential circuit breakers to function properly.
• Economy and Simplicity: Solve complex corrosion problems by electrolysis in an economical and simple way.
• Important Recommendation: When the vessel is on shore (wintering), it is recommended to temporarily connect the secondary ground to the 230V mains supply to maintain electrical safety.

3600 Watt Auto 115/230V

This model will automatically switch to 115 V or 230 V power supply, depending on the input voltage.
Power supply 88 V - 130 V: switches to 115 V
185 - 250 V power supply: switches to 230 V power supply range.
Note: AC input voltage increases by a ratio of 1:1.05 at the AC output.
