Galvanic Isolator VDI-64A 64A Max Waterproof (Potted)The galvanic isolator prevents electrolytic corrosion. It blocks low voltage DC currents that enter your boat via the shore power earth wire. These currents can cause corrosion to the boat’s underwater metals, like the hull, propeller, shaft and so on.The galvanic isolator consists internally of two diodes which are connected in anti-parallel fashion. When they are connected in this way, the diodes allow current in both directions but only above a certain threshold voltage. The voltage at which diodes conduct is about 1.4 Vdc.The isolator is installed directly behind your boat's 120V - 230V connection. The forward voltage 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) error voltage in the AC circuit, the diodes will allow current through and the residual-current device will break the circuit.Terminal posts are 6MM (1/4")This item is not ABYC A-28 approvedPlease contact your dealer for any returns, repairs or support issues related to this product.

BI-0702-4 Battery Isolator - 70A - 1 Alternator, 2 BatteryThe Arco Marine BI-0702-4 is an inboard/outboard battery isolator that can handle 1 alternator, 2 batteries, and 70A max. Rated for use with 10 to 350-amp alternators on 12, 24, or 32-volt negative ground systems.*Includes regulator sensing terminalFeatures: 1 alternator, 2 batteries, 70A max Inboard and outboard battery isolators are solid-state devices that allow electrical current to flow in one direction ONLY, thus permitting the alternator to be connected directly to two batteries without fear of one higher-charged battery discharging into the lower-charged battery. Both batteries are always being charged automatically, in proportion, to their needs whenever the engine is running. When battery isolators are used in conjunction with selector switches, it is not necessary to change the switch position to provide for charging of both batteries. Isolators provide proportioning of the output or charging current on the alternator to the batteries as required, regardless of switch position. NOTE: Battery Isolators cannot be used on 12 volt charging systems with 24 volt trolling motors or newer outboard engines with rectifier-regulator charging systems.This product may not be returned to the original point of purchase.

Argodiode Battery Isolator 180-3AC - 3 Batteries - 180AArgodiode Battery Isolators allow simultaneous charging of two or more batteries from one alternator, without connecting the batteries. Discharging the accessory battery for example will not result in also discharging the starter battery. Low voltage drop due to the use of high-efficiency Schottky diodes.The Argo Battery Isolators feature a low voltage drop thanks to the use of Schottky diodes: at low current, the voltage drop is approximately 0,3 V, and at the rated output of approximately 0,45 V. All models are fitted with a compensation diode that can be used to slightly increase the output voltage of the alternator. This compensates for the voltage drop over the diodes in the isolator. Simply inserting the isolator in the cabling between the alternator and the batteries will slightly reduce charge voltage. The result can be that batteries are not charged to the full 100% and age prematurely. Alternator energize input Some alternators need DC voltage on the B+ output to start charging. Obviously, DC will be present when the alternator is directly connected to a battery. Inserting a Diode or FET splitter will however prevent any return voltage/current from the batteries to the B+, and the alternator will not start. The new ‘AC’ diode isolators feature a special current limited energize input that will power the B+ when the engine run/stop switch is closed.Please contact your dealer for any returns, repairs or support issues related to this product.
