Protect Your Boat with the Victron Galvanic Isolator VDI-16 A: An Essential

Shield Against Electrolytic Corrosion

Experience Ultimate Protection for Your Vessel

The Victron Galvanic Isolator is your first line of defense against the damaging effects of electrolytic corrosion. Designed to safeguard your boat’s underwater metal components—such as the hull, propeller, and shaft—from corrosion, this device is an essential investment for any boat owner looking to extend the lifespan of their vessel.

How It Works: Advanced Technology for Comprehensive Protection

At the heart of the Victron Galvanic Isolator lies its innovative internal structure, featuring two diodes arranged in an anti-parallel configuration. This sophisticated design allows the isolator to block harmful low voltage DC currents that typically infiltrate your boat via the shore power earth connection. The key to its effectiveness is the diodes’ ability to permit current flow in both directions, but only when it exceeds a specific threshold voltage of approximately 1.4 Vdc. This ensures that only safe levels of current can pass through, effectively neutralizing the risk of electrolytic corrosion.

Effortless Installation for Immediate Protection

Installing the Victron Galvanic Isolator is straightforward and requires no complex procedures. Positioned directly behind your boat’s 230V shore power connection, it acts as a vigilant guardian, preventing the forward voltage from the isolator—which is intentionally set higher than any potential difference between underwater metals—from allowing any corrosive current to pass through. In the event of an abnormal voltage surge in the AC circuit, the isolator’s diodes will permit current flow, triggering the residual-current device to break the circuit and further protect your vessel.

Why Choose the Victron Galvanic Isolator?

• Advanced Corrosion Protection: Secure your boat’s integrity by blocking corrosive currents.
• Simple Installation: Easily integrate the isolator into your existing electrical setup for immediate protection.
• Reliable Performance: Trust in a device that activates only when necessary, ensuring energy efficiency and prolonged device life.
• Peace of Mind: Sail with confidence, knowing your boat is shielded from the hidden dangers of electrolytic corrosion.
