This drives low-level DC corrosion currents that attack anodes, propellers, stern gear and hull fittings over time. The VDI-64A is wired in series with the shore earth conductor and uses blocking diodes to prevent these DC currents from flowing, while preserving the AC safety earth path required by electrical regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 64A rating covers the full shore power load on most single-phase 32A or 16A circuits, with headroom for transient currents. The integrated surge protection guards the diode assembly against voltage spikes on the shore supply. Unlike an isolation transformer, a galvanic isolator does not provide full galvanic isolation, but it is a cost-effective first line of defence for vessels that do not require complete electrical separation from shore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: GDI000064000\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076048107\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContinuous current rating: 64A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 3.4 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSailing yachts and motor cruisers connected to marina shore power\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCanal boats and narrowboats on permanent or semi-permanent shore connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommercial vessels requiring galvanic corrosion protection on the earth conductor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarina berths and pontoon electrical installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVictron Galvanic Isolator VDI-64A unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VDI-64A must be installed by a qualified marine electrician in accordance with the relevant marine electrical standards for your vessel type and flag state.
