ISO+ GALVANIC ISOLATORS
CRISTEC offers two ranges :
– European range that includes models with 16A and 32A capacities.
– North American range which is specifically designed for the North American market and holds 32A & 64A ABYC A28
and Fail Safe certifications.
The galvanic isolator prevents galvanic corrosion. It blocks the low-voltage DC currents that enter your boat via the shore power earth wire. These currents can cause corrosion to the boat’s underwater metals, like the hull, propeller, shaft and so on.
The galvanic isolator consists of two diodes connected in antiparallel. The galvanic isolator is connected between the shore earth connection and the central earth point in the boat.
The advantage of the galvanic isolator is its low weight and size. In contrast to a galvanic isolation transformer that ensures full isolation (live, neutral, and ground), a galvanic isolator does not prevent corrosion that may arise through the neutral line, particularly when the neutral line is grounded by onboard electrical components, including suppression filters or other devices.
RCE+ electronic battery isolators
Our products lines
OUR CATALOGUE
ELECTRONIC BATTERY ISOLATORS RCE+
RCE+ battery isolators allow simultaneous charging of 2 or 3 batteries from one alternator without connecting the batteries together.
Discharging the house battery for example will not result in discharging the starter battery.
The DC input power source may be an alternator, a charger, a wind turbine, a solar panel, a hydrogenator, etc.
The RCE+ battery isolators have a negligible voltage drop compared to conventional diode models which generate a drop of the order of 0.7VDC.
They can be used with any type of generator including electronic models, thanks to its special IG (Ignition = priming) terminal.
The DC input power source will determine the rating of the battery isolator:
For a 120A alternator, choose a 150A isolator (if a battery is either deeply discharged or short-circuited, the available input current may flow through the isolator)
General characteristics
MOSFFET technology
The technology used, based on MOSFET transistors, ensures negligeable voltage drop between the input and the outputs. This is a major advantage compared to a diode isolator.
Voltage drop free
Because there is no voltage drop due to RCE+ isolator, there is no need to increase the output voltage of the alternator.
Multi-voltage
The isolator works with 12VDC and 24VDC voltage, and also allows the use of LiFePO4 (Lithium) batteries.
2 ou 3 sorties
The RCE+ is used to split an input power source (alternator, solar regulator, hydrogenerator, etc.) to two or three consumers (batteries, consumers)
IGNITION ready
Some alternators need DC voltage on the + output to start charging. Inserting a battery isolator will prevent any return voltage from the battery and the alternator will not start. The RCE+ splitters have an IG Input that will power the + output when switching on the engine.
Interchangeability
The RCE+ is designed to be fully interchangeable
with previous RCE without any modifications.

SMART BATTERY RELAYS RCB+
With the increasing use of Lithium batteries (LiFePo4) for on-board electrical systems, compatibility between different battery types has become a major
issue. Indeed, the cohabitation between starter batteries, often lead-acid, and lithium batteries for service requires specific management of energy flows,
particularly during alternator operation.
RCB+ smart coupler relay responds to this challenge by providing an efficient and secure connection between these two types of battery.
The device is capable of managing the current coming from the alternator, either 12 or 24VDC, up to 200A, by limiting it to the service battery, while
protecting starter battery charge.
How RCB+ works :
One of the RCB+’s key features is its ability to limit the current flowing between the alternator and the service battery. Thanks to a setting wheel for the
adjustable version, the user can adjust the current between 30 and 120A, guaranteeing flexibility according to the on-board system’s needs.
It is recommended to retain around 30% of the alternator’s capacity for the starter battery; for example, for a 110Ah alternator, the limit could be set at 70A for
service bank. This fine-tuned management preserves the alternator from overload while optimizing the battery charge (see illustration below).
Compact and lightweight this unique compact relay is designed to be used in harsh environment. Its innovating technology based on low frequency switching
mode offers stabilized output charge current and protection against reverse voltage to avoid damages on the alternator.
On the RCB-ADJ-120A model the black selector wheel of the encoder can be removed for safety or maintenance reason.In some cases RCB+ can replace a
DC-DC charger. The On/Off entry allows the switch On/Off of the charging of the lithium battery.
