ProMariner Failsafe Galvanic Isolator Receives 2007 IBEX Innovation Award

Galvanic Isolation Leader Wins Top Honors in Electrical Systems Category

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (October, 2007) — ProMariner, a 30-year leader in the design and manufacture of galvanic isolation and on-board charging systems, announced today that its ProSafe FS 60 galvanic isolator has won the 2007 International Boatbuilder’s Exhibition & Conference (IBEX) Innovation Award in the Electrical Systems category. Selected by Boating Writers International (BWI) judges in conjunction with the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), the ProSafe FS 60 was recognized for the benefits it offers to both boaters and the industry. A practical, cost-effective solution, the innovative ProSafe FS series provides boaters with galvanic isolation that maintains the integrity of an on board shore power ground connection under worst case electrical conditions.

“We are very proud to receive this prestigious award for the FailSafe Series of galvanic isolators,” said Bob Unger, president, ProMariner. “It truly recognizes our continued innovation in galvanic isolation solutions and further solidifies ProMariner as the industry leading choice for boat builders and consumers.”

The ProMariner ProSafe FS 30 and 60 amp galvanic isolators solve the most common forms of corrosion and zinc loss problems boaters experience while connected to AC power. The latest addition to its popular ProSafe line, the FailSafe models meet the July 2008 American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) A-28 recommendations. Both the ProSafe FS 30 and 60 Amp models are built on robust flat pack semiconductor platforms, that in the event of a failure mode, the failure is safe by not compromising the ground continuity on-board when connected to AC Shore Power.

The FailSafe 30 and 60, and other ProMariner products are available in United States and Canada through ProMariner’s extensive dealer network.
