GENERAL SAFETY

The following safety checklist is intended to help remind you of safety procedures and practices.

SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

You must also refer to local regulations in the country your equipment is being used in. Some of the information may be

repeated in the following warnings and cautions pages and in the main text.

–Do not change the application or specification of the IsoBoost .

–Do not lift heavy objects on your own, use lifting equipment or obtain the help of an assistant.

–Use the right tools for the job.

–Always make the unit is safe before completing any maintenance tasks.

CAUTION

Injury may occur when lifting. Do not lift heavy objects on your own. Use lifting equipment or the help of an assistant.

OPERATING SAFETY

WARNING

Product Condition

A defective product can injure you or others. Do not operate an IsoBoost which is defective or has missing parts. Make

sure the maintenance procedures in this manual are completed before using the IsoBoost.

WARNING

Product Limits

Operating the product beyond its design limits can damage the IsoBoost, it can also be dangerous. Do not operate the

IsoBoost outside its limits.

MAINTENANCE REPAIRS

WARNING

If your IsoBoost does not function correctly in any way, get it repaired straight away. Neglect of necessary repairs could

cause further damage or make the unit unsafe. Do not try to do repairs or any other type of maintenance work you do not

understand. To avoid injury and/or damage get the work done by a specialist engineer.

CLEANING

CAUTION

Fully isolate the supply of power to the unit before cleaning. Clean the outside of the unit with a damp cloth. Do not spray

water into the vents.

CAUTION

Do not drop or shock the unit. Severe internal damage may occur. Do not use the unit if it has been dropped, even if it

appears to be undamaged.

IsoBoost Owners and Installation Manual

PRODUCT FEATURES

All versions of the IsoBoost have the following features:

•A fully isolating hand built transformer

•A soft start system to minimise the risk of tripping the shore side breaker when first connecting.

•A sophisticated control system that will automatically select between boost and straight through mode on

US versions.

•A sophisticated control system that will automatically select between buck and straight through mode on EU

versions.

•Modbus data for optional remote monitoring the IsoBoost

Three versions are currently available

•12 kVA US - A hull isolation transformer rated for a 50A 208/240V shore cord

•24 kVA US - A hull isolation transformer rated for a 100A 208/240 shore cord

•24 kVA EU - A hull isolation transformer rated for a 100A 230 shore cord or 63 amp 400 volt cord

The IsoBoost is packaged in a robust steel enclosure, powder coated for longevity. Care should be taken to lift the unit on a

pallet or by lifting from points on the transformer frame.

The IsoBoost is designed to operate automatically with no user intervention.

On the US model the IsoBoost starts in 1:1 mode. If the output voltage is below 215 volts the unit will switch to boost mode.

If the output voltage rises above 255 volts the unit will drop back to 1:1 mode.

On the EU model the control system will start the IsoBoost in 1:1 mode if the incoming voltage is between 190 and 255 volts.

The control system will start the IsoBoost in buck mode if the incoming voltage is between 340 and 440 volts.

All versions of the IsoBoost include a sophisticated multifunction meter built into the front of the case. It provides

comprehensive monitoring of the output from the IsoBoost, including voltage, current, frequency, power and more.

All versions are fitted with a cooling fan. Air is drawn in through the front of the unit below the meter, and expelled out the

rear right hand side. Do not block any cooling vents. If the fan fails, it must be replaced.

A thermal overload switch is incorporated within the transformer windings. If the transformer overheats, this will operate

and switch off the supply. Once it cools, it will reconnect. If this ever happens, check the cooling fan and seek advice. The

unit is designed and tested to work at full load in 60°C/140°F ambient conditions.

IsoBoost Owners and Installation Manual

SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

INSTALLATION

PLACEMENT

The IsoBoost should be fixed to a structural part of the ship that can accept the weight of the unit. It should be fixed down

using the clearance holes in its feet.

The product is heavy and suitable lifting equipment must be used. Do not attempt to lift the IsoBoost manually. The IsoBoost

will reject some heat. Do not block vents.

The IsoBoost transformer is not waterproof. Do not expose to rain or water.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

Remove the front panel of the IsoBoost unit. You will need a 4mm hex (Allen) key to remove the fixings.

A removable gland plate is situated on the right hand side of the unit. This plate will need to be drilled to install cable glands

(not supplied).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING

The installation of the IsoBoost should be carried out by a qualified electrician. This unit case must be earthed in all modes

of operation.

AC INPUT

The unit should be wired to the shore supply receptacle with cable with a suitable rating to satisfy the relevant standards for

the vessel. If the IsoBoost is more than 3 metres or 10 ft from the inlet an inline circuit breaker may be required to meet

relevant standards:

Model

Cable current

IsoBoost 12 kVA US

50A Single phase

IsoBoost 24 kVA US

100A Single phase

IsoBoost 24 kVA EU

63A in buck mode –100 amp in 1:1 mode

IsoBoost Owners and Installation Manual

AC OUTPUT

The unit should be connected to the ships distribution system using cable with a suitable rating to satisfy the relevant

standards for the vessel:

Model

Cable rating required

IsoBoost 12 kVA US

IsoBoost 24 kVA US

100A

IsoBoost 24 kVA EU

OTHER CONNECTIONS

Terminals 101 and 102 are a dry contact indicating the state of boost mode.

The contact rating is 6A at 230VAC, 4A at 24VDC.

Contacts open

Passthrough mode –boost not active

Contacts closed

Boost active

Terminals A, B, and S are a Modbus RTU connection to the multifunction meter. Remote displays are available –please

contact your supplier for details. The communication protocol can be supplied upon request to allow integration into your

ships monitoring system.

EARTHING

The IsoBoost must be earthed. An earthing terminal is provided for this purpose.

The typical arrangement for an isolation transformer is as follows

•All versions - Input earth or ground (from shoreline) -connects to the interwinding screen between the input and

output windings of the transformer.

•US versions- Output earth or ground is connected to the ships earth, the case of the IsoBoost, and the centre tap

of the output winding.

•EU versions- Output earth or ground is connected to the ships earth, the case of the IsoBoost, and one pole (the

Neutral) of the output winding.

Other arrangements are possible, depending on local regulations, and the design of the boat.
