Cathodic Protection Rectifiers, Standard Line, Air Cooled by Universal Rectifiers

- Most Popular Conventional Rectifiers. Many Available Options
-
Farwest “Standard Line” air cooled cathodic protection rectifiers, manufactured by Universal Rectifiers, 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, storage tanks, and many other non-hazardous locations where continuous duty, DC cathodic protection power is required.

The air cooled rectifier cabient size varies with the rectifier output size. To determine the rectifier wattage, multiply the DC output voltage x the output current for.
Example: 50 volts x 50 amps = 2,500 DC watts. Requires a size "B" rectifier cabinet.
