The Victron VDI-64 galvanic isolator is an essential device for protecting your boat's submerged metal components from electrolytic corrosion. Easy to install and featuring reliable technology, it is designed to prevent unwanted currents from harming your vessel.
The galvanic isolator prevents electrolytic corrosion caused by low-voltage direct currents (DC) entering your boat via the earth wire of the shore power supply. These currents can severely damage submerged metal parts such as the hull, propeller, and shaft. With this isolator, you preserve your boat's integrity.
Inside the isolator, two diodes are connected in antiparallel, allowing current to flow in both directions but only above a certain threshold voltage, ensuring optimal protection against leakage currents while allowing normal current flow in emergency situations.
The Victron VDI-64 galvanic isolator is installed directly behind your boat's 230 V connection. This placement effectively blocks electrolytic currents without affecting the rest of your vessel's electrical system.
With IP67 protection, the VDI-64 galvanic isolator is designed to withstand the harsh conditions encountered in marine environments. Its waterproof construction prevents water ingress, ensuring maximum durability and reliability even in the most demanding settings.
The Victron VDI-64 can handle a maximum current of 64A. It can manage high electrical loads without the risk of failure.
Protecting your boat against galvanic corrosion has never been more accessible. The Victron VDI-64 galvanic isolator is a cost-effective solution that avoids high repair costs and extends the lifespan of your marine equipment.
For maximum safety, the isolator must be connected to the protective earth connection before any other earth connections on the boat. This prevents any possibility of bypassing the isolator, thus ensuring complete protection.
With dimensions of 63 x 164 x 335 mm and a weight of only 3.2kg, the VDI-64 galvanic isolator is compact and lightweight, making it easy to integrate into tight spaces without compromising performance.
