Boating enthusiasts know the joy of exploring distant shores, but ensuring clean and safe dockside power at remote ports isn't always guaranteed. Hubbell Marine addresses this challenge with their range of isolation transformers designed to protect a vessel's delicate electronic equipment from damaging surges and spikes. Simultaneously, they eliminate the risk of electric shock drowning caused by stray currents from faulty shore connections.
Hubbell Marine's isolation transformers are UL certified and ABYC compliant, engineered for both 50A and 100A systems. They are available in 50/60 or 60 Hz frequencies and come in 15 or 25 kVA configurations to cater to both US and EU markets. These units come pre-wired for 120/240V applications, all packed into a compact and lightweight design that takes up minimal onboard space. The 15 kVA models weigh a mere 95kg and measure 43mm H x 35.9mm W x 29.4mm D, while the 25 kVA models weigh only 113kg and measure 46.8mm H x 41mm W x 33.9mm D.
Boaters can choose between a white powder-coated or 316 stainless steel housing to complement their onboard equipment. Hubbell isolation transformers offer easy access to the main module and other internal components, and high-quality terminal blocks ensure reliable wire management. Integral mounting brackets make secure and safe installation possible even in tight quarters.
These versatile systems can be wired for either a polarization or isolation transformer system. For added convenience, an optional auto-boost module is available for all models. This feature engages automatically if the voltage at the dock falls between 195-220V, ensuring consistent power. An LED indicator display mounted outside the housing provides easy access to transformer status.
For boaters seeking both safety and reliability, Hubbell Marine's isolation transformers are a vital addition to their vessels, ensuring peace of mind during their adventures on the water.
