Newmar GI-30-FS Galvanic Isolator 30A Fail Safe

The GI-30-FS Galvanic Isolator 30A Fail Safe is an essential component for marine and boating enthusiasts, ensuring the longevity and safety of your vessel's electrical systems. By effectively blocking unwanted low-voltage currents, it helps prevent corrosion and maintains the integrity of critical safety grounds.

Product Overview

The GI-30-FS Galvanic Isolator is installed between the AC safety ground and DC bonding system on your boat. This strategic placement blocks most low-voltage currents and corrosive actions common in saltwater environments. By reducing galvanic corrosion on sacrificial anodes, it extends the life of crucial metallic components and minimizes maintenance costs related to boat haul-outs and zinc replacements. Additionally, each unit is equipped with a large capacitor, offering a secondary low-impedance path for AC current to the ground, enhancing overall safety.

Key Features

• Protects against galvanic corrosion, extending the lifespan of your boat's metallic components.
• Maintains a safe electrical environment by effectively managing stray currents.
• Certified to the UL1500 standard for Ignition Protection, ensuring high safety standards.
• Operates efficiently in environments with up to 50°C ambient temperature.
• 30A fail-safe feature guarantees continuous ground maintenance even in case of failure.
• Reliable connection maintained during isolator failure for uninterrupted safety grounding.
