Air Cooled Standard Line
Cathodic Protection Rectifiers

by Universal Rectifier, Inc.


Heavy duty, pole mountable, air cooled cathodic protection rectifiers

 
Farwest “Standard Line” air cooled cathodic protection rectifiers, manufactured by Universal Rectifiers, Inc., are recognized as industry leading in quality, workmanship and service life. Many years of field-proven service prove their superior design. Conservative equipment ratings, controlled manufacturing techniques, plus many extra features ensure long and trouble-free operation.

Typical cathodic protection applications for the air cooled rectifier line include pipelines, tank farms, storage fields, and other non-hazardous locations where continuous duty, DC power is required.

C = Constant Current (Reactor style)
D = Constant Current (Solid state)
E = Constant Voltage (Solid state)

P = Constant potential (solid state)
I = Constant potential IR free (solid state)
M = Multiple modes (solid state)
V = Variac control

Position #3: Cooling

A = Air Cooled

Position #4: Stack Type

I = Silicon (while other stack types are available, silicon is recommended)

Position #5: DC Volts

List Maximum DC Voltage Desired

Position #6: DC Amps
