Cathodic Protection Rectifiers, Oil Cooled, by Universal Rectifiers

Typical cathodic protection applications for the oil cooled rectifier line include severe environmental conditions due to high humidity, dust, or other situations that would shorten the life of a standard air cooled rectifier.

Explosion proof models are used for Class 1, Group D locations and comply with U.L. Standard 698. While similar to the standard oil cooled rectifiers, the explosion proof units are fitted with special hazardous area fittings to eliminate possibility of an ignition source.
