Victron Galvanic Isolator VDI-32 – GDI000032000

The Victron Energy GDI000032000 is designed to enhance the safety of your marine electrical systems by preventing galvanic corrosion through its advanced galvanic isolator technology. Ideal for marine applications, this product provides reliable protection while ensuring optimal performance, making it a must-have component for any vessel.

Product Features

Optimal Cooling Design

This galvanic isolator is engineered to be mounted vertically, allowing for superior cooling and maintaining temperatures within safe limits. With a maximum temperature rise of just 20C under standard conditions, users can trust that their systems remain efficient and safe.

High Current Capacity

With a maximum current of 32 A and peak current handling up to 3200 A, the Victron Energy GDI000032000 is built to support demanding marine power needs. This feature ensures that the isolator can handle significant electrical loads without compromising performance.

Durable Waterproof Construction

The product is encapsulated in a waterproof housing, making it suitable for harsh marine environments. This durability extends the unit’s lifespan and reliability, crucial for electrical systems exposed to moisture and corrosive elements.

Easy Installation

The Victron GDI000032000 is designed for straightforward installation, allowing users to wire directly into the safety grounding connection. This ensures that no grounding connections bypass the isolator, maximizing its effectiveness and safeguarding your system.

Robust Materials

Constructed from anodized aluminum and rated at IP 67 for protection against water and dust ingress, this galvanic isolator is not only functional but also built to last. Its weight of 2 kg provides a solid, stable installation, reinforcing its strength in marine applications.

How It Works

The Victron Galvanic Isolator operates by providing a one-way electrical barrier that prevents galvanic currents from flowing between dissimilar metals in the marine environment. This helps to protect the integrity of metal components over time, ensuring longevity and reducing maintenance costs.

Wiring Connections

It connects to the green (safety) grounding wire first before any other grounding connections are made, preventing backflows that could compromise safety. This critical step is essential for effective operation.

Heat Management

Utilizing efficient thermal management through its vertical design, the isolator ensures that temperatures stay controlled, even during high-current operation. This feature is vital for rendering consistent performance in varying conditions.

Environmental Protection

With an IP 67 rating, the component is safeguarded against dust and temporary immersion in water. This characteristic is fundamental for marine applications where exposure to harsh conditions is a constant factor.
