Product Features
Robust Waterproof Design
The VDI-64 is constructed with a waterproof encapsulation, ensuring that it remains functional and reliable even in harsh maritime conditions. This feature protects the internal components from moisture and corrosion, making it ideal for long-term use.
High Current Capacity
This galvanic isolator supports a maximum current of 64 A, making it suitable for a wide variety of electronic devices onboard. With this capability, users can safely power their systems without worrying about overloads or failures.
Effective Peak Current Handling
With a peak current capacity of 6000 A for brief intervals, the VDI-64 can handle unexpected surges, providing additional safety during peak usage circumstances. This ensures that your equipment is protected against sudden electrical spikes.
Easy Installation
The VDI-64 is designed for straightforward installation, with clear guidance on connecting it to the green (safety) grounding wire. This feature simplifies the setup process for users, allowing for quick and hassle-free implementation.
Durable Material Construction
Manufactured from anodized aluminum, the VDI-64 is not only rugged but also lightweight. This material choice contributes to the unit’s durability while minimizing its overall weight, making it easier to mount and manage on your vessel.
How It Works
The Victron Galvanic Isolator VDI-64 functions by creating an isolation barrier for grounding connections, which prevents galvanic corrosion in marine environments. It accomplishes this by ensuring that the vessel’s grounding connections do not bypass the isolator, thus ensuring effective operation.
Vertical Mounting for Optimal Cooling
The isolator is designed to be mounted vertically, allowing for maximum airflow and heat dissipation. This installation method minimizes heat buildup and maintains the device’s efficiency, especially during prolonged use.
Safety Compliance
The VDI-64 complies with local safety regulations, ensuring that all electrical connections are secure and suitable for marine applications. This compliance provides peace of mind for users who prioritize safety in their installations.
Ventilation Space Requirement
To facilitate proper cooling, the installation of the VDI-64 requires a clearance of at least 10 cm around the unit. This design consideration helps maintain optimal operating temperatures and enhances longevity.
