Professional Marine Engineering
The ITR050362041 represents Victron Energy's commitment to marine electrical safety. The toroidal wound design delivers exceptional efficiency while maintaining whisper-quiet operation - crucial for overnight docking comfort. The integrated soft-start circuitry gradually energizes the transformer, preventing the sudden current draw that trips sensitive shore power breakers.
Unlike basic galvanic isolators that only address DC ground currents, this isolation transformer provides complete AC isolation, eliminating all electrical paths between shore and vessel systems. This comprehensive protection extends the life of expensive underwater hardware including props, shafts, through-hulls, and sacrificial anodes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between an isolation transformer and a galvanic isolator?
An isolation transformer provides complete AC electrical isolation between shore power and your vessel, while a galvanic isolator only blocks DC currents on the AC safety ground. The isolation transformer offers superior protection by eliminating all electrical continuity, making it the preferred choice for professional marine installations.
Will this transformer work with both 30A and 50A shore power?
Yes, the ITR050362041 automatically detects and switches between 115V and 230V inputs, making it compatible with both 30A (115V) and 50A (230V) shore power pedestals. The unit delivers up to 32A at 115V or 16A at 230V output.
How does the soft start feature prevent breaker tripping?
The integrated soft start circuitry gradually energizes the transformer over several seconds, eliminating the initial current surge that often trips sensitive shore power breakers. This ensures reliable connection to shore power without nuisance interruptions.
What size vessel is this transformer suitable for?
With 3600W capacity, this transformer is ideal for vessels up to 50 feet with moderate to high electrical loads. It can handle multiple battery chargers, inverters, air conditioning units, and other high-draw marine equipment simultaneously.
Does this eliminate the need for other galvanic protection devices?
Yes, because the isolation transformer provides complete electrical isolation, it eliminates the need for separate galvanic isolators and reduces reliance on polarity alarms. However, proper bonding and grounding systems within the vessel remain essential for safety.
What maintenance does this transformer require?
Isolation transformers require minimal maintenance. Periodic visual inspection of connections, ensuring adequate ventilation, and keeping the unit clean and dry are the primary requirements. The toroidal design has no moving parts, contributing to long-term reliability.
Isolation Transformer 3600W Auto 115/230V
Indispensable in professional marine energy systems. It prevents electrolytic corrosion and above all serves as a device to guarantee a safe electric system.
