Isolation Transformer 3600W Isolation 100 ohms between boat PE and Shore PE

Isolation Transformer 3600W

Has anyone else had this problem

would be nice if I could get a full circuit diagram

but to my understanding there should be no electrical path between Boat PE and shore

Are you measuring between shore and boat? or the isolation transformer itself?

measuring between shore and boat you do on voltmeter position, not resistance.

Try unplugging shore-power, resistance or voltage should remain the same.

unless its been jumpered (e.g. for when boat is on the dry) the two earths should not be connected. But if its been jumpered the resistance should be a lot lower than 100 ohms.

I've checked that the jumpers are in the right position

would be nice if I had a circuit diagram but can't fined on anywhere

by having a resistance between the two earths defeats the point of having a isolating transformer
