Isolation Transformer - 2000W - 115/230 VAC
Safety and prevention of galvanic corrosion The Isolation Transformer eliminates any electrical continuity between AC shore power and the boat. It is essential for safety and eliminates the need for galvanic isolators and polarity alarms.
Safety is taken for granted in case of a normal on-shore installation. A fuse will blow or a GFCI (Ground Fault Current Interrupter) will trip in case of a short circuit or current leakage to ground. Connecting the ground wire of the shore-side supply to the metal parts of the boat will result in galvanic corrosion (see below). Bringing only the live and neutral wire on board results in an unsafe situation because GFCIs will not work nor will a fuse blow in case of a short circuit to a metal part on the boat.
Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals in electrical contact are simultaneously exposed to an electrically conducting fluid. Seawater and, to a lesser extent, fresh water are such fluids. In general, the more active alloy of the couple corrodes preferentially while the less active (more noble) material is cathodically protected. The rate of galvanic corrosion is a function of several variables including area ratios, conductivity of the fluid, temperature, nature of the materials, etc.
It is a misunderstanding that galvanic corrosion occurs only in metal and aluminium hulls. In fact it can occur on any boat as soon as a metallic part (the shaft and propeller) is in contact with water. Galvanic corrosion will quickly dissolve your sacrificial anodes, and attack the shaft, propeller and other metal parts in contact with water as soon as the boat is connected to the shore-side supply. It might therefore be tempting not to connect the ground conductor: this is however extremely dangerous because GFCIs will not work nor will a fuse blow in case of a short circuit to a metal part on the boat.
The best solution to avoid galvanic corrosion and at the same time prevent any unsafe situation is to install an Isolation Transformer to connect to the shore-side supply.
The Isolation Transformer eliminates any electrical continuity between shore power and the boat. The shore power is fed to the primary side of the transformer and the ship is connected to the secondary. The Isolation Transformer completely isolates the boat from the shore ground. By connecting all metal parts to the neutral output on the secondary side of the transformer, a GFCI will trip or a fuse will blow in case of a short circuit.
Soft startis a standard feature of a Victron Energy isolation transformer. It will prevent the shore power fuse from blowing due to the inrush current of the transformer, which would otherwise occur

Providing a lot of power.
3@405 watt rec panels on top of Bimini with 2@ Hyundai bifacials on top of Atlantic tower. 1x2 “ anodised aluminum used for supports . Each panel has their own mppt charge controller due to the amount of Shade on my sailboat.panels are providing a lot of power.

ARCO Zeus regulator is performing great.
Instalation instructions where easy to follow.
The Zeus can be adjusted with the app to adjust the charging parameters.
Enclosed picture of gx device show a lot of solar going into batteries so the Zeus is providing enough amps to max out 300 amps going into batteries. If I was using more ac devices the alternator will increase output . Temperature sensor included with Zeus allows it to reduce output until alternator cools down.

Cools boat down quickly
Mabru air conditioner is great improvement from my old model. Cools boat down quickly. Easy install. I run this 17k unit of my 12/100/3000 ,victron invertor. Sometimes the solar panels will provide enough power for air conditioner ,2 fridges and all other loads.

Modular Rainman watermaker installed in separate locations
Modular Rainman watermaker installed in separate locations. The motor and pump fit well under nav table seat ,membranes fit below forward bed. I made 80 gallons of water whilst motoring into port royal sound s.c. My victron 12/120/3000 invertor had no trouble running it .
The water produced was 200ppm. About the same as my city water filtered through Brita pitcher.
