how does a marine isolation transformer work?

A marine isolation transformer works by electrically isolating the boat’s electrical system from the shore power supply, enhancing safety and reducing the risk of electric shock. It achieves this through electromagnetic induction, where the primary winding receives power from the shore, and the secondary winding supplies power to the boat without a direct electrical connection. This isolation helps prevent ground faults and protects sensitive equipment from surges, ensuring a safer environment on board.
