Farwest oil 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
have led to the superior design of these rectifiers.
Conservative equipment ratings, controlled manufacturing
techniques, plus many extra features ensure long and
trouble-free operation.
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.
