Choosing Between a Converter, Transformer, or Galvanic Isolator
Shore power systems can be confusing. Should you install a converter, an isolation transformer, or a galvanic isolator?
Shore Power Converter
- Converts voltage, frequency, and phase
- Provides electrical isolation
- Best for traveling internationally
Isolation Transformer
- Provides galvanic isolation
- Does not convert voltage or frequency
- Ideal if you stay in one region
Galvanic Isolator
- Blocks low-voltage DC currents causing corrosion
- Less comprehensive than isolation transformers
- Inexpensive solution for short-term use
