What must be indicated on the galvanic isolator and its status monitor related to current rating?

The indication of the maximum current rating on a galvanic isolator and its status monitor is critical for safety and functionality. The maximum current rating defines the highest amount of current that the isolator can handle without risk of overheating or failure. This rating ensures that the system operates within safe limits, particularly in marine environments where electrical loads can vary significantly.

By knowing the maximum current rating, users can make informed decisions about what electrical loads they can safely connect to the system, preventing potential damage to the isolator and other components due to excessive current. Overloading a galvanic isolator can lead to catastrophic failures, including fire hazards.

The other ratings, such as minimum, load, or nominal, do not provide the essential safety limits required to ensure that the isolator performs effectively under typical and peak operating conditions. Understanding the maximum current rating is fundamental for both design and operational considerations in any electrical setup involving galvanic isolation.
