Newmar GI-60-FS 60A Fail Safe Galvanic Isolator
The GI-60-FS Galvanic Isolator effectively blocks low-voltage currents and combats corrosive action on essential metallic components in saltwater environments. By interrupting the flow of low-voltage current, it significantly minimizes the galvanic corrosion on sacrificial anodes while ensuring the safety of the grounding system. This innovation helps reduce costly boat haul-out fees and zinc replacements. Additionally, it is equipped with a large capacitor that secures a secondary low-impedance path for AC grounding.
This galvanic isolator complies with the latest ABYC A-28 2019 standards and features a fail-safe design, capable of handling strict temperature and current tests, making it a reliable solution for galvanic protection.
The Newmar GI-60-FS Galvanic Isolator is designed to mitigate galvanic corrosion on metallic components in saltwater environments. This device functions by blocking low-voltage DC currents, which are a primary cause of corrosion, thereby extending the lifespan of sacrificial anodes and reducing maintenance costs associated with boat haul-outs and zinc replacements. It ensures the integrity of the grounding system while interrupting corrosive current flow. The GI-60-FS also incorporates a large capacitor to provide a low-impedance path for AC grounding. Compliant with ABYC A-28 2019 standards and UL1500 certified for Ignition Protection, it features a fail-safe design that maintains ground integrity even if the isolator itself fails. This unit is suitable for IT and marine professionals requiring reliable galvanic protection in demanding conditions, tested for operation up to 50 degrees C ambient temperature.
