Re: Converting 220v boat to 110v technical advice needed

I keep forgetting to look at the wires...
How about one of these:176666

Won’t a 30a to 15a Adapter like this one do the job or do I still have to worry about the voltage?

Also, my current (2...

Re: Converting 220v boat to 110v technical advice needed

Great advice. I’m looking at the Victron Energy Isolation Transformer 2000W 115/230V now. I think this may be the solution as I intend to take the boat back to the Med next year.

Re: Converting 220v boat to 110v technical advice needed

I sorta had that for a month but we had wind so it didn’t feel that hot.

Re: Convert from 240 VAC to 120 VAC

Thanks for the info. I checked out the isolation transformer. That’s a maybe due to its cost and my desire to keep it simple.
