GALVANIC ISOLATOR MONITOR SYSTEM
One of the most important elements in using shore power
aboard a vessel is that while it is plugged into the dock the
bonding system needs to be electrically connected to earth.
Missing this earth connection allows the bonding system
to be potentially “hot”. If this occurs, the chance for
electrocution to anyone in the water or boarding the boat
dramatically increases.
Your vessel utilizes a galvanic isolator. Its purpose is to allow
the separation of the bonding system from the dock and
other boats at low voltages (less than 1.4 volts) but to keep
it connected to the shore ground at high voltage potentials.
Remember, the zinc anodes installed on the vessel protect
your boat only. For this reason the name “zinc saver” is
a term sometimes used to describe the galvanic isolator.
This type of galvanic isolator connects to your electrical/
bonding system for less than 20 seconds during a day. This
limits the negative effects on the ship’s bonding system. The
monitor performs various tests when connected to shore
power or activated by the push to test button or every 6
hours after that. After it does a “self-test” then it tests the
ground wire continuity and the galvanic isolator and shows
the results on the monitor head. During the self test the
LED’s will light on the panel. The isolator is normally
found behind the AC/DC panel. It is considered a dealer
serviceable item.
MONITOR PANEL
To use the monitor in the au-
tomatic mode,
turn the main
AC panel breaker and the tran-
som shore power breaker to the
off position. Turn the dockside
breaker to the off position.
Connect both ends of both
shore power cords. Turn on the
dockside breaker. The monitor
will activate itself. It will perform the self-test. Then it will
display the ground wire condition and the galvanic isola-
tor in about 20 seconds. This test will be completed every
6 hours.
If the “fail” icon lights up on either the ground wire or
galvanic isolator displays an ungrounded bonding system
exists and
should be considered dangerous.
Disconnect
the shore power cords after turning the dockside breaker off
and call a professional electrical technician to troubleshoot
and repair the situation.
To use the monitor in the manual mode,
press the “test”
button on the display panel. A sequential set of LED’s
will light up indicating the status of the ground wire and
galvanic isolator as either pass or fail.
If the “fail” icon lights up on either the ground wire or
galvanic isolator displays an ungrounded bonding system
exists and
should be considered dangerous.
Disconnect
the shore power cords after turning the dockside breaker off
and call a professional electrical technician to troubleshoot
and repair the situation.
Note: The monitor will display both shore power 1 and 2
systems.
Ground Wire “Normal”
- The shore power ground wire has
been tested and is connected to neutral through the shore
side ground circuit.
