The Autotransformer 120/240V-32A is a Victron toroidal autotransformer that takes 120 VAC in and gives 240 VAC out, with a maximum feed through current of 32 A at 240 VAC. It includes a two pole 32A input circuit breaker and has a neutral power rating of 3,800 VA for 30 minutes. The enclosure carries an IP21 protection category.
Our take
The 32 A neutral current is allowed for 30 minutes, while the continuous neutral figure is 28 A at 40ºC. Size the load around the 28 A number, not the 32 A headline, if it will run for hours.
From our buying guide
On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.
Check before you buy:
- 33 CFR 183 subpart I applies to boats that have a gasoline engine, except an outboard, so a gasoline generator counts.
- Ignition protection on a charger or switch is the maker's statement, so read what it says and which standard it names.
