10.7 ISOLATION TRANSFORMER
The yacht is equipped with two isolation transformers ensuring the
electric power supply from shore.
The transformer is able to isolate completely the input power from the
output power, improving safety and reducing the corrosion caused by
galvanic currents. This means that there is no direct electric connection
between AC from shore and AC from the yacht. The cable connecting the
bonding cord is connected to a screen fit between two coils. This screen
ensures the yacht isolation.
When the voltage drops below the preset threshold, due to a shore power
supply drop, the transformer increases automatically the yacht voltage.
The power supply is transferred from shore to the yacht electric system.
