12 / 24 V @ 15 Amp Cathodic Protection Controller
Application
Used to control the current injected into the ground bed to prevent
the rusting of iron and/or steel objects inbedded in the ground. This
highly efficient highly and stable multiple control mode unit switches
automatically between the various control modes to maintain the proper
structure potential as the ground bed resistance changes with operating
conditions.
Features
- Ultra high efficieny >96 % typical
- Excellent Control Features with automatic switchover
- Constant Voltage
- Constant Current
- Half Cell Voltage Regulation
-
- Transient Protection on all connections
- Ideal
for solar powered battery backed cathodic protection systems very high
efficiency maximizes the performance of your solar investment while
minimizing cost
- User adjustable output voltage, current limit and half cell
voltage regulation with automatic crossover
- Remote control (instant on/off) and metering options available
for sequenced operation

Temperature Range:
It is recommended, as with all electronics, that the unit not be
placed in direct sunshine.
Terminations:
- Power Eurostyle Terminal Strip, Wire size: #10 AWG
- Signal Eurostyle Terminal Strip, Wire size: #18 AWG
Humidity:
- 90 % non-condensing, designed and tested for operation in a NEMA

Application Notes
- It is recommended that the unit be placed in a system that has an
LVD capability, unit shuts down under 10 V input
- When not operating in half cell voltage regulation, short half
cell sense to itself
- Addition of simple transformer and diode bridge, unit becomes AC
powered
Note: In the interest of continuous product improvement,
specifications subject to change without notice.
