With the expansion of urban space and related industries, the provision or acquisition of land for the construction of cathodic protection stations, especially at gas stations in the city, has always faced many problems and costs. The use of integrated cathodic protection stations is a suitable solution for the optimal use of existing spaces.
Using an integrated cathodic protection station eliminates the need to separately provide and install peripheral equipment such as communication boxes and AC boxes.
An integrated cathodic protection station usually includes the following parts:
- Panel
In the construction of the integrated cathodic protection station, a composite panel is used, which is more resistant to corrosion than carbon steel in different environments. Also, due to the lack of need for painting (color stability), the problems of paint damage and … have been eliminated.
- Rectifier transformer
The rectifier transformer is designed and manufactured according to customer request with single or three-phase input and output with different ranges and electronic, regulatory or intelligent control. For currents above 25 amps, it is possible to provide the transformer separately with oil cooling.
- Positive and negative band box
To connect the positive (anodic substrate) and negative (structure under protection) cables, copper, aluminum or terminal straps are installed according to the request. It is also possible to install a variable resistor.
- AC Box
At the input of the device, equipment for disconnecting and connecting and protecting the input power (single or three phases) along with an intermediate meter is provided. Installation of other equipment is also possible according to the customer’s opinion.
Some of the advantages of the integrated cathodic protection station:
- Saving space for installing cathodic protection station equipment, including: rectifier transformer, positive band box, negative band box, AC Box.
- Ease of installation, operation and maintenance.
- Resistance to sunlight and harsh environmental conditions.
- Reduction of civil operations, including: excavation, concreting, etc. for the equipment foundation.
- Reduction of the cost of cathodic protection station equipment.
- Reducing body corrosion and panel paint damage, which will increase the life of the equipment.
- Eliminating communication cables between the rectifier transformer and the positive, negative and AC boxes.
Borna Electronics Company, with four decades of experience in providing cathodic protection services to various industries in the country and a leader in providing new designs, announces its readiness to consult, design and manufacture various types of integrated cathodic protection stations in different ranges in accordance with customer requests and current world standards.
