Wiring Plan & Victron Isolation Transformer - Ep. 108 @TheDigitalMermaid
Wiring Plan & Victron Isolation Transformer - Ep. 108  @TheDigitalMermaid
Uploaded January 2025 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago
The two main things in this video are; I've chosen to use the Victron ITR36000 isolation transformer instead of a the 230v Multiplus-II, like I had originally planned. I talk about why, and how to set it up (though not correctly)...

The second thing covered is a walk-through of the wiring diagram I've been working on. For this, I would love feedback on the design. Did I miss anything? Are there mistakes? Please let me know!

There's a lot to get caught up on!
