Victron Energy VDI-16 amp galvanic insulator

Victron Energy Galvanic Vdi-16 Isolator. Galvanic isolator prevents electrolytic corrosion.It blocks the low voltage DC currents that enter the boat through the shore cable of the shore supply.These currents can cause corrosion of metallic elements below the waterline, such as the hull, the propeller and its shaft, and others.The galvanic isolator has in its interior two diodes connected in an antiparallel way.When connected in this way, the diodes allow current to pass in both directions, but only above a certain voltage threshold.The voltage at which the diodes are conductive is about 1.4 Vdc.The isolator is installed directly behind the 230V connection of your boat.The direct voltage coming from the galvanic isolator is higher than the potential difference between metals.As a result, this voltage will not allow conduction and, as such, the galvanic isolator will prevent any electrolytic current.However, if there is a higher erroneous voltage in the AC circuit, the diodes will allow the current to pass and the residual current device will break the circuit. tradeinn Waveinn

Victron Energy galvanic insulator prevents electrolytic corrosion It blocks the low voltage DC currents that are pntrating in your boat through the ground wire of the dock power. These currents can cause corrosion of the submerged metals of the boat, such as hull, propeller, axis, etc The Victron Energy galvanic insulator has two diodes connected in antiparallel. When connected in this way, the diodes allow current to pass in both directions beyond a certain threshold voltage of about 1.4 Vdc The insulator is installed directly behind the 230 V connection of your boat. The forward voltage of the galvanic insulator is greater than the potential difference between the metals. Consequently, this voltage does not allow conduction and the galvanic insulator therefore prevents any electrolytic current However, if there is an error voltage (higher) in the AC circuit, the diodes will let the current pass and the rsidual current device will cut off the circuit
