It eliminates galvanic corrosion caused by stray currents between shore earth and the vessel's hull, and provides a safe, isolated AC supply at either 115V or 230V output. Suitable for professional marine electricians and off-grid system integrators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4500W continuous power rating, suitable for substantial onboard AC loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual voltage output: 115V or 230V, allowing compatibility with both North American and European shore power standards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanic isolation breaks the conductive path between shore earth and the vessel's hull, preventing electrolytic corrosion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEliminates the risk of electric shock hazard from shore earth faults reaching the vessel's metalwork.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eToroidal transformer core construction for low electromagnetic interference and high efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and robust enclosure suitable for fixed installation in a marine or vehicle environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 22.22 kg, reflecting the substantial copper and iron core required for a 4500W toroidal design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a vessel is connected to shore power, the shore earth conductor creates a direct metallic path between the boat's hull and the marina's earthing system. Where dissimilar metals are present in the water, this path allows galvanic currents to flow, accelerating corrosion of anodes, propellers, stern gear and hull fittings. An isolation transformer breaks this path entirely by transferring AC power inductively, with no direct electrical connection between the shore-side and vessel-side windings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 115\/230V dual-voltage configuration means the transformer can accept either North American 115V shore supplies or European 230V supplies on the primary side, and deliver the corresponding isolated voltage on the secondary. This makes it particularly useful on vessels that travel between different marina environments or that were built to a different voltage standard than the local shore supply. The 4500W rating supports typical onboard loads including air conditioning, battery chargers, galley appliances and general domestic circuits simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToroidal core transformers produce a lower external magnetic field than conventional laminated E-I core designs, which reduces interference with onboard navigation and communication equipment. The toroidal format also delivers a better power-to-weight ratio for a given VA rating, though at 22.22 kg this unit still requires careful consideration of installation location and structural support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: ITR040452042\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePower rating: 4500W\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInput\/Output voltage: 115V \/ 230V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 22.22 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076075417\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine shore power connections on sailing yachts, motor cruisers and narrowboats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanic corrosion protection in marina berths with mixed metal hull fittings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShore power voltage conversion between 115V and 230V supplies for vessels crossing between regions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIsolation of onboard AC systems from shore earth in commercial and charter vessel installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFixed off-grid or mobile installations requiring a safe, isolated AC supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Victron Energy Isolation Transformer 4500W 115\/230V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation must be carried out by a qualified marine electrician or suitably competent person familiar with AC shore power systems. The transformer must be securely mounted to a structural surface capable of supporting its 22.22 kg weight, with adequate ventilation around the unit. All AC wiring must comply with applicable standards, including BS EN ISO 13297 for recreational craft electrical systems in the UK and EU. Do not connect the secondary earth to the shore earth, as this will defeat the galvanic isolation. Verify input voltage compatibility before connecting to any shore supply.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55582783963427,"sku":"ITR040452042","price":514.64,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/9001\/4243\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_ITR040452042_-_Isolation_Transformer_4500W_115-230V.webp?v=1789122470","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.eu\/products\/victron-isolation-transformer-4500w-115-230v","provider":"VoltaconSolar EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
