Product catalog summary
Product Overview:
The MPS Electrolysis Blocker is a marine galvanic isolator designed to prevent corrosion caused by DC currents between vessels in a marina. It is certified to ISO, AS/NZS, and ABYC standards, ensuring high performance and safety. The device is compact, waterproof, and requires no maintenance due to its solid-state components.

Key Features:
  • 67A continuous current rating.
  • 5000A fail-safe rating.
  • Blocks damaging DC current while maintaining AC earth capability.
  • Easy installation and inspection.
  • Ignition-proof design with a high-performance heat sink.

Compliance and Installation:
The Electrolysis Blocker must be installed by a licensed electrician and used with a circuit breaker rated up to 16A and a 30mA residual current device. It should be connected to the supply protective earthing conductor before the vessel's earth system. Installation should ensure protection from accidental access and good ventilation.

Maintenance and Testing:
No service or maintenance is required as the device contains no moving parts. However, periodic inspection by a licensed electrician is recommended to ensure secure connections. Performance testing can be conducted using a multimeter.

Galvanic-Isolator1-1

Electrolysis Blocker Features: Winner 2002 ISO, AS/NZS & ABYC standards certified approved 67A continuous current rating 5000A fail safe rating Compact for easy installation and inspection Waterproof, solid state components – no service required Proven high performance heat sink and ignition proof design Description: Product Code: MPS-EB67 The MPS Electrolysis Blocker is a marine galvanic isolator with unique hi-performance features tested to international marine standards. This unit is designed to block corrosion causing DC current that travels between vessels at a marina using the common shore power connection. The failsafe construction offers peace of mind and confidence with no ongoing maintenance (or monitoring) required. The MPS Blocker is compact and easy to install which makes retro fitting a vessel simple and affordable. Vessels in a marina are interconnected via the shore earth which carries low voltage DC current between them and the marina. The result is increased corrosion which will cause the rapid consumption of anodes and promote growth on the vessels unprotected submerged metal parts.
