Why do I need an ISO Boost Transformer?
Whether you’re a new yacht owner or a seasoned boater, efficient shoreline power management should be a priority at all times. An ISO boost transformer is unquestionably one of the most important products to facilitate safe and reliable power management procedures for many years to come. Energy Solutions offers units that can be used by any vessel using a 50A or 100A supply.
Here’s all you need to know about upgrading your vessel, and why the Energy Solutions models are the perfect fit as either brand new or replacement installations.
What will an ISO Boost Transformer do for you?
In short: an ISO boost transformer will upgrade your vessel to take your enjoyment on the waters and docks to a whole new level. But you probably want a more extensive answer than that.
A marine ISO boost transformer essentially combines an Isolation Transformer with a Boost Voltage Increase Circuit in one unit. This subsequently delivers an automatic rise of line voltage when it’s needed, ensuring that all on-board electrical equipment is supplied with the right voltage at all times, even when there is a drop in the standard power. The key feature of this is that it will prevent any products from switching off, which can provide a range of benefits, such as;
- Ensure that the vessel is safely equipped with the necessary onboard electrical items at all times.
- Prevent equipment faults that could develop from power losses, removing the need to replace them.
- Maintain comfort on-board and reduce the workload for captains.
Whether it’s managing the electrical facilities on the seas or a heavy loaded shoreline, the ISO transformer uses a soft start while using a 1:1 ratio to ensure that output is matched to input levels. The boost mode is automatically triggered when power drops, meaning you won’t have to worry about monitoring the situation. Ultimately, then, it takes care of various electrical issues on your boat or yacht in an automated fashion.
The ISO boost transformer will, therefore, provide safe, comfortable, cost-efficient energy management that protects assets as well as people. In turn, it will unlock an even happier life on the water. Frankly, it’s the least any boat owner (or guest) deserves.
So, why an ISO Boost Transformer over other methods?
There are many reasons to install an ISO transformer booster. Firstly, dual inputs make them a suitable solution for boating and docking around the world. Whether it’s the U.S. Caribbean or European waters, the ISO booster transformer will deliver a safe, reliable performance at all times. Moreover, the boost feature will adjust itself to compensate for the variations in voltage found from dockside shore power features.
The units additionally eliminate the risk of galvanic corrosion by isolating AC shore power from the boat’s AC power system to ensure optimal performance without transferring excess energy. The ability to self-regulate and increase the boost by 15% when the marina power runs on a 208V system rather than a 240V system further underlines the benefits of using this approach over any other vessel power management strategy.
Energy Solutions ISO booster transformers simultaneously promote safety for swimmers and all on-board guests. This is largely thanks to the fact that there is no direct connection from the boat’s electrical system and grounding conductor to the shoreside system. Instead, a magnetic coupling is used to transfer power, which sees the shore grounding conductor via a shield that is wound between the shore windings and transformer windings.
The advanced technology isn’t only built to adapt to voltage variances, but also to withstand fault currents until the breaker can trip while also managing in-rushing currents. The safety components are just one of many reasons that this is the best solution for your boating needs, others include;
- It’s the most cost-effective way to manage vessel power, ensuring that you receive optimal efficiency for affordable operations.
- The method of power transfers eliminates danger to people, as well as the risk of hazards or electrical fires.
- The method of power transfers, combined with the quality of equipment, promotes long-term performance and reliability.
- ISO boost transformers offer universal capabilities working with 208V and 240V power supplies in all ports and docks around the world.
- The compact units take up minimal space on the boat while their easy-to-use nature is ideal for boaters of all experiences.
- Their power handling capabilities allow them to power yachts and boats of varying sizes, as long as they use the appropriate 50A or 100A.
- The technology of the Energy Solutions ISO boost transformers will protect all marine electrical equipment.
- Choosing this type of shoreline power management will provide users with the peace of mind that they deserve when docking or preparing for a journey.
The perfect replacement for Charles Industries ISO Boost Transformers
ISO transformers aren’t only a great addition for new yachts. If your current solution has become damaged due to a boating accident, poor management, or general wear and tear, you must replace it ASAP to restore effective shoreline power management.
Most vessels use a Charles Industries produce as standard. The Energy Solutions products offer the perfect choice as a Charles Industries ISO boost transformer replacement. Aside from delivering the same quality and function cost-effectively, they are the same dimensions (470mm x 381mm), allowing for a straight swap that avoids expensive installation and refurbishment costs.
As well as providing the same functions as their Charles Industries counterparts, they boast a simple interface that is easy to understand whether you’re a first-time user or making the transition to Energy Solutions. Either way, efficient and sufficient shoreline power supply management starts here.
