Newmar Gi-60-fs 60a Galvanic Isolator With Fail Safe
Newmar 60 Amp Galvanic Isolator with Fail SafeModel: GI-60-FS Commonly installed on cruisers, sailboats, and yachts Protects against corrosion Maintains a safe environment Certified to UL1500 standard for Ignition Protection Tested to 50°C ambient temperature The fail-safe feature ensures ground maintenance Connection in the event of isolator failure Sacrificial zincs corrode away as they protect metal through hulls, shafts, and props from damaging electrolysis. Stray, low-voltage current flowing between the AC safety ground and DC bonding system is a principal cause of this"galvanic" action.Installing the Galvanic Isolator between the AC safety ground and DC bonding system blocks most of the low voltage currents and corrosive action on the zincs 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, prov
