The Victron Iso Transformer 2000W is a toroidal isolation transformer with a 2,000 W power rating. It can be set up as a 115-115V, 115-230V, 230-115V or 230-230V transformer and has an input circuit breaker. Output current is 17 A at 115V and 8.5 A at 230V. Soft start is built in, and the whole unit weighs 10 kg.

Our take

The soft start is aimed at the shore circuit breaker, which should not trip when you plug in. With 17 A available at 115V and 8.5 A at 230V from its 2,000 W rating, check your loads against those figures first.

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.
