Sterling Power Pro Save A 16A Galvanic Isolator/Zinc Saver

(£61.74 Inc. VAT at 20%)
Product Description+

To meet the current CE standard (ENSIO 13297) the ground of the AC shore power must be connected to the ground of the boat. Connecting the ground wire of the AC-shore power to the metal parts of the boat will result in galvanic corrosion. It can occur on any boat as soon as a metal part (shaft and propeller) is in contact with water. The corrosion will quickly dissolve your zinc anodes and attack the shaft, propeller and other metal parts in contact with the water as soon as the boat is connected to the AC shore. Installing a Galvanic Isolator / Zinc Saver will maintain a good earth link with the shore, but prevent stray currents coming up the earth line and damaging the boat. Protected to IP65.

  • M6 Bolts.

Earth now safe

Fitted the isolator and we will find out in a year if the anodes are getting used less.
Last set of anodes lasted 12 years, moved marina's 2 years ago, these have been on for 2 and a half and looked 30% down. So suspect earth leakage from shore supply.
Hopefully this will allow us to get at least another 6 years from the anodes. If it does with a set of anodes about £500 it will pay for itself in 2 years.
