The DEI Marine Galvanic Isolator provides unsurpassed DC isolation
and AC safety grounding for boats of all sizes. DEI’s design
philosophy has produced a galvanic isolator that exceeds every
rating of every other unit on the market, and most importantly,
is uniquely certified as being fail-safe. This assures safety
grounding of the boat to shore, even in the unlikely case of
the product failing. DEI products are rated for the full available
fault current of large electrical systems, well beyond what
is required by ABYC A-28, the standard for marine galvanic isolators.
Simpler and smaller than isolation transformers, the GI assures
that the boat will always remain bonded to shore for safety.
Features and Characteristics
- AC fault ratings matched to the boat
- Fail-safe construction
- Ignition protected
- Maintenance-free solid-state design
- Rated for high levels of lightning current
- Isolation to 2V galvanic potential difference
- Very low DC leakage current allowed
Application Information
The Galvanic Isolator is simply installed in series in the grounding
conductor of the shore power cord, typically near the main shore
power panel on board the boat. See our application data and
schematic for more information.
