La Marche Manufacturing Co

MSM series incorporates Power Factor Correction (PFC) Circuitry with a wide input voltage range in order to accommodate many marine charging applications. The MSM has an Integrated Battery Charge Divider / Isolator which provides connections for charging up to three independent batteries simultaneously with a three-stage charge cycle. MSM’s filtered output is suitable to charge different types of batteries for Marine/Industrial applications. This series is equipped with an LCD display for ease of navigation through the configurations menu. The LCD also displays Input AC voltage, Output DC Voltage & Current, and Alarm Status. The front of the unit provides three status LED indicators for the overall status of the system. The MSM charger is built in a robust, non-corrosive enclosure that addresses harsh environments, meeting stringent safety and regulatory standards. MSM chargers can be used inside engine rooms as this series is ignition protected 33 CFR 183.410 compliant.

The danger of electrical shock and galvanic corrosion are greatly increased whenever 120V or 240V AC shore power is connected to a ship’s electrical system. The function of the La Marche Marine Isolation Transformer is to reduce the potential between the ship and the shore in order to achieve:

• Personnel boarding the ship, personnel aboard the ship and the ship’s metal parts will not be subject to electrical shock
• Electrolysis corrosion of the metal hull or hull fastenings will be reduced to a safe level
• Reduce EMI Interference and static from affecting the ship’s electronic component

The La Marche Marine Isolation Transformer features a Ground (Faraday) Shield between the power windings. This ground shield, when connected to the shore ground, provides protection against capacitive coupling between the shore power and the boat’s electrical systems. This protects the boat electrical equipment against shore power issues, common mode voltage spikes, and the transfer of harmful energy between both systems.

Reliable, Long Life - The ITSM is conservatively designed for continuous operation in harsh marine conditions inside an engine room environment. Trouble Free - Silent convection cooling eliminates the need for noisy fans and filter maintenance. There are not external controls or adjustments.
