Newmar Power GI-60-FS Galvanic Isolator 60A Fail Safe for Marine Electrical Systems

GI-60-FS Galvanic Isolator 60A Fail Safe

Installing the Galvanic Isolator between the AC safety ground and DC bonding system blocks most of the low-voltage currents and corrosive action seen on the vital metallic components in the saltwater. With the low voltage current blocked, the galvanic corrosion effect on the sacrificial anodes is significantly reduced, while the integrity of the critical safety ground path is maintained. This means a significant saving in boat haul-out fees and zinc replacement costs. For additional safety, all units feature a large capacitor, providing a secondary low-impedance path for sending AC current to the ground.

Newmars latest galvanic isolator meets the latest ABYC A-28 2019 requirements, including being a failsafe. This design can meet the strictest temperature and current tests to create a robust solution for galvanic protection.

The Newmar Power GI-60-FS galvanic isolator is designed to protect your boat's metallic components from corrosion caused by stray currents in saltwater environments. Installing this unit between your AC safety ground and DC bonding system effectively reduces low-voltage currents that lead to galvanic corrosion, which can deteriorate sacrificial anodes and compromise your vessel’s integrity. By preventing these corrosive effects, the GI-60-FS helps extend the lifespan of critical parts and reduces maintenance costs, including zinc replacements and haul-out fees. The isolator features a large capacitor that provides a secondary low-impedance path to safely send AC currents to ground, enhancing safety and reliability during operation. This failsafe design ensures continuous protection even if the isolator itself encounters failure, maintaining the safety and integrity of your electrical system at all times. Certified to meet the latest ABYC A-28 2019 standards, the GI-60-FS is tested against strict temperature and current conditions to ensure durability and performance. It is rated for 60 amps and is suitable for shore power voltages ranging from 115V to 230V, with a maximum short circuit capacity of 5,000 amps. The unit also offers stray current protection up to 1.4 volts DC, making it a robust solution for saltwater boating environments. Easy to install with compact dimensions, this galvanic isolator is built to provide years of corrosion protection and electrical safety, helping boat owners save money and ensure safe operation without compromising essential grounding pathways. Whether for new installations or upgrades, the Newmar Power GI-60-FS galvanic isolator is a dependable choice for maintaining vessel integrity and safety in marine electrical systems.
