Victron Energy VDI-16 Galvanic Isolator
Protect Your Vessel from Electrolytic Corrosion
Part Number: GDI000016000
The Victron VDI-16 Galvanic Isolator is a vital component for any shore-powered marine electrical system. Designed to prevent electrolytic corrosion, it blocks low-voltage DC currents that can travel through the shore power earth wire and cause damage to your boat’s underwater metal components, such as the hull, propeller, shaft, and other fittings.
Key Features:
- Corrosion Protection: Prevents stray DC currents from causing galvanic corrosion to submerged metal parts.
- Safe Diode Isolation: Utilizes two anti-parallel diodes that only conduct above ~1.4V DC, blocking harmful low-voltage currents while allowing fault current to pass.
- Fail-Safe Operation: In the event of a higher voltage fault, the isolator permits current flow so that residual current devices (RCDs) can trip and protect the system.
- Compact Installation: Installs directly behind your boat’s 230V shore power inlet for effective protection without bulky equipment.
