Description
The Victron Isolation Transformer 8000W is a high-power professional marine transformer that fully breaks the electrical connection between shore power and your vessel. Shore power feeds the primary winding while the boat runs from the isolated secondary, so there is no direct continuity between the two. This eliminates stray current and galvanic corrosion, protecting your shaft, propeller, sacrificial anodes and other underwater metals, and it removes the need for a separate galvanic isolator or polarity alarm.
With the boat fully isolated from the shore earth, you can safely connect to shore supplies without carrying the shore ground onto the vessel, so a GFCI on the output works correctly for onboard electrical safety. This model is a dedicated 230V unit with a 240V output, and its 1:1.05 winding ratio raises the output by 5% to compensate for the voltage drop common on long marina supply cables. At 8 kVA it delivers up to 35A continuously, making it suited to larger yachts and commercial vessels with substantial shore-power demand.
Toroidal winding technology keeps the unit quiet and efficient, and a built-in soft start limits inrush current so the shore breaker does not trip when you plug in. The rugged aluminium enclosure is rated IP21 and, like all core Victron products, the transformer carries a five year warranty.
