INSTALLING THE ISOTRANSFORMER
Choosing an Electrical Wiring Method
There are two wiring methods that can be used to install the IsoTransformer as an isolation transformer in accor-
dance with ABYC E-8 Alternating Current (AC) Electrical Systems on Boats. A third method, also in accordance
with ABYC E-8, can be used to install the IsoTransformer as a polarization transformer if desired. The third meth-
od is not preferred, because wiring the unit in the manner described circumvents the AC grounding conductor
isolation between shore and boat power and may require the use of a galvanic isolator to reduce galvanic corro-
sion.
