What is this? "C Power"

[Graham Lorimer]

I am looking at a possible replacement for my 400DA, and whilst looking at adverts for 460's, have noticed a piece of equipment in the engine room near the Generators, and would like to know what it is.

It has a label naming it as "C Power" on it, and obviously connects in line with the electrics. Is it optional? How much did it cost when new? What does it do?

Not all boats appear to have it, any advice appreciated.

I believe it is this: http://www.charlesindustries.com/main/ma_iso_bost.html

However take a look here http://www.charlesindustries.com/main/marine.html

Based on the size and shape it is most likely the ISO Boost transformer, but it's possible that it is just the isolation transformer without boost.

I found this on EBAY, it sort of looks the same, although the connector configuration is different. Is there a MODEL# on it?:

It is an isolation transformer I had to buy one because of the crappy 30 AMP at my marine. The marina kept tripping my breaker all the time.

You want that !!!!!! $500.00
