Mastervolt Mass GI 6 Isolation Transformer - 6 kW 120/230 V (55010600)

The Mastervolt Mass GI 6 (Part Number: 55010600) is a high-performance, compact 6.0 kW High-Frequency Isolation Transformer designed to safely isolate a vessel's AC electrical system from shore power supplies operating at either 120 V or 230V AC (50/60 Hz). Shore power connections present significant galvanic corrosion risks to underwater metal fittings (propellers, shafts, thru-hulls, and sterndrives) due to stray DC earth currents flowing between the shore ground and the vessel's hull.

By employing advanced high-frequency switch-mode technology rather than traditional heavy copper/iron low-frequency core designs, the Mass GI 6 delivers maximum power density in an ultra-lightweight (10 kg) package—saving up to 80% of the weight compared to standard toroidal transformers. It ensures complete electrical safety aboard, prevents dangerous shore-to-boat ground loops, and includes built-in soft-start control to eliminate AC shore breaker tripping caused by high startup inrush currents.

Key Features

  • Galvanic Corrosion Protection: Safely isolates onboard ground from shore ground, preventing stray current electrolysis from destroying underwater hull metals.

  • Ultra-Lightweight & Compact: High-frequency technology reduces weight to just 10.0 kg (22 lbs), making it ideal for performance yachts and weight-sensitive hulls.

  • Auto-Ranging Multi-Voltage Compatibility: Supports 120 V and 230 V shore power grid inputs (50 Hz or 60 Hz) for global cruising capability.

  • Integrated Soft-Start Control: Inhibits high current spikes on initial connection to prevent tripping dockside AC shore circuit breakers.

  • Seamless Parallel Operation: Two or more Mass GI 6 units can be connected in parallel to expand total onboard AC power capacity up to 12 kW or higher.
