Victron 115/230V 2000W Isolation Transformer
Prevents Galvanic Corrosion with Built-In Soft Start Protection
DESCRIPTION
Victron 2000W Isolation Transformer: Complete Marine Electrical Safety
Connecting your vessel to shore power introduces significant electrical challenges, primarily galvanic corrosion and grounding safety risks. The Victron 2000W 115/230V Isolation Transformer eliminates electrical continuity between AC shore power and your boat. By completely isolating your vessel from the shore ground, this system provides absolute protection against galvanic corrosion while ensuring that your onboard safety devices function correctly.
Prevent Galvanic Corrosion and Protect Your Hull
Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals are in electrical contact and exposed to a conductive fluid, such as seawater or freshwater. When a boat is connected to shore power, the shore earth wire connects the underwater metals of your boat to other boats and shore structures. This shared connection rapidly accelerates galvanic corrosion, dissolving sacrificial anodes prematurely and attacking vital metal components like your hull, propeller, and shaft.
While some marine setups rely on simple galvanic isolators, these do not provide true electrical separation. The Victron Isolation Transformer physically separates the shore power from your onboard system. The shore supply feeds the primary side of the transformer, and your vessel is powered entirely by the secondary side. This breaks the earth circuit completely, stopping galvanic corrosion at the source without compromising electrical safety.
Ensure Critical Grounding Safety
A common but highly dangerous workaround to stop galvanic corrosion is disconnecting the shore ground wire. If a short circuit occurs without a proper ground connection, safety devices like a Ground Fault Current Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD) will fail to trip, leading to severe electrical hazards.
This isolation transformer solves the problem by creating a safe, isolated neutral-to-earth bond on the secondary side of the transformer. By connecting all metal parts of your boat to this secondary neutral output, any short circuit will immediately trigger your GFCI or blow a fuse, keeping the vessel and its occupants completely safe. It also eliminates the need for complex polarity alarms.
Built-In Soft Start Technology
High-capacity transformers typically draw a massive inrush current when first connected, which can easily trip sensitive shore power circuit breakers. To counter this, Victron Energy has integrated an intelligent soft start feature into this model. The soft start system manages the initial power draw, ensuring a smooth connection to the shore supply without nuisance breaker trips, regardless of the marina's power quality.
Durable Hardware for Marine Environments
Designed specifically for demanding marine and off-grid environments, the unit is housed in a robust enclosure featuring the distinctive Victron Blue Power branding. It includes built-in recessed handles on the sides for secure manual lifting and positioning during installation. Protective black cable glands provide secure, strain-relieved electrical connections, preventing moisture ingress and ensuring long-term reliability in harsh coastal conditions.

WARRANTY
Victron Energy Limited Warranty Policy
Victron Energy warrants its products to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of 5 years from the date of purchase by the end user, with a maximum of 66 months from the Victron Energy invoice date. Exceptions on this are: lead acid batteries; 2 years from date of purchase by the end user, with a maximum of 30 months from the Victron Energy invoice date, Lithium-ion batteries; 3 years from date of purchase by the end user. In addition to this proof of correct battery usage is required when making a battery warranty claim.
During this period, Victron Energy will, at its option, repair or replace the defective product free of charge. The warranty does not include performing or reimbursing de‐installation, transportation and re‐installation.
