Victron Galvanic Isolator VDI-16A
SKU: GDI000016000
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.
- Manufacturer Victron Energy
- Accessory Product Type Battery Isolators & Combiners
- Commodity Code 85411000
- Dimensions (mm) (H x W x D) 60 x 120 x 200
The isolator is installed directly behind your boat's 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.
