I think that is a very old one that does not meet current ABYC "Failsafe" requirements or it would be marked "Failsafe" on the box. Like these Guest units that were discontinued https://www.fisheriessupply.com/gues...tinued/4531001

There are tons of things being sold on here that don't meet ABYC requirements. You gonna go and make a post on all others that aren't also? Why dunk on the mans post? He has it listed "As-Is"

People should know what they are buying for safety reasons.

And few are informed and need a little help.

Maybe the packaging is not "failsafe" either - it meets or exceeds all ABYC standards - right on the package.


Like I said, it's an older unit found in my in-laws garage that he never put on his boat...It's still a perfectly good isolator and would work just fine for a smaller boat. You don't have to always be all "latest-n-greatest"

It met standards years ago before it was realized that failure renders them uselss and quite possibly dangerous if one loses ground continuity.

I made my own. I don’t bother with fail safe as I have multiple RCBO in circuit so I’m not concerned if the earth opens anyway. In my case I’m using 4 diodes on series each way to give better leakage protection and each foods set is duplicated for redundancy.

No need for fail safe. ABYC avoid whole boat RCD devices for far too long and their definition of safety defies logic at times.
