3.6 & 3.8 kVA ISOLATION TRANSFORMERS
Safety and reliability are your primary electrical concerns whether you are at sea or connected to power at the marina. In many cases, the quality of available shore power is unknown, yet it has a direct effect on your onboard electrical system. Charles’ Iso-Guard Isolation Transformers electrically isolate your boat's AC system from AC shore power to provide the best defense against the surges, spikes and transients often associated with unknown power sources. These units replace the need for Galvanic Isolators with Status Monitor (per ABYC standards). Two new marine UL-listed Iso-Guards are designed specifically for onboard use:

MODELS:
93-IXFMR3/6N-A
   3.6 kVA (30 amps) Isolation Transformer, 120VAC, 60Hz

9N-IXFMR3/8I-A
   3.8 kVA Isolation Transformer, 120/240VAC, 50/60Hz

SPECIFICATIONS:
Dimensions: 9.65"D x 10.5"W  x 9"H
Weight: 76 lbs.
Materials: Heavy-duty encapsulated transformer, 11 & 14 gauge, powder-coated steel enclosure


Why use an Iso-Guard Isolation Transformer instead of
a Galvanic Isolator with Status Monitor?
 
ISO-GUARD ISOLATION TRANSFORMER GALVANIC ISOLATOR
Fully electrically isolates the boat's AC power from shoreside AC power

Does NOT electrically isolate the boat from shore side power
Prevents galvanic corrosion Prevents galvanic corrosion
Easy installation, wiring and connection to ONE BOX and no need for external monitoring Installation, wiring and connection of 3 items:      galvanic isolator, monitor and remote panel
Does NOT require panel space Requires panel space for the remote
Eliminates the need for polarity alarm Does NOT eliminate the need for polarity alarm
No need for indicators due to poor shore side grounding, faults etc., since these potential hazards will not be transferred to the boat's AC power. LED lights illuminate when there is a fault in the galvanic isolator or faulty shorepower. Each marina may vary; thus, requiring one-on-one trouble-shooting.
Marine UL Listed Certain units may not be Marine UL Listed
