|
ICCC manufactures Rustrol® Systems for worldwide
distribution. The Rustrol® Polarization Cells and the solid-state
Rustrol® Cathodic Isolator® are an essential components for
safely isolating cathodically protected structures(i.e. pipelines).
Rustrol® Systems are designed to protect personnel and equipment
from electrical disturbances. Rustrol® Systems effectively block
cathodic protection DC voltages; all other electrical disturbances are freely conducted to ground, such as:
• AC Fault Current
• Mitigation of induced AC Voltages
• Lightning

Rustrol® Cathodic Isolator® |
| |
|
The Rustrol® Cathodic Isolator® is available in common
models with rated A.C. fault current exposure parameters in accordance with the attached Specification
Sheet CI-01. Voltage thresholds and other operating parameters are to be specified by the customer.
The Cathodic Isolator® effectively blocks the protective DC current needed for cathodic protection
while providing a grounding path for; AC fault currents, lightning, induced AC, power switching surge
currents or any other electrical disturbance. The result: Personnel and Equipment are safely
protected against shock hazards.
The Rustrol® Cathodic Isolator® which features electronic/electrical
construction throughout, responds instantly and offers a "fail-safe", maintenance-free
performance in an electrolyte-free environment. |

Proven Cathodic Protection |
| |
Cathodic protection, proven by decades of service in a variety of applications, prevents corrosion of buried or submerged metallic structures.
Cathodic protection is most efficiently and uniformly applied when the primary structure is electrically isolated – (i.e., all metallic/electrical contacts with foreign metallic structures are eliminated).
Electrical isolation provides three major benefits:
- Restriction of the required protective current to the surface of the primary structure to produce a uniform polarized level of protection.
- Minimization of stray DC current interference.
- Prevention of galvanic current between metallic structures.

Rustrol®s Proven Quality Assures Reliable Operation |
| |
|
Unique developments in electronic circuitry are incorporated into the Rustrol®
solid-state Cathodic Isolator® to assure acute sensitivity; instant response;
and "fail-safe", maintenance-free operation in a non-electrolytic environment.
The Cathodic Isolator® and associated hardware feature the most advanced
and reliable components available today. Each critical component is precisely machined and carefully
assembled to meet Rustrol®'s exceptionally stringent quality assurance standards.
The easy-to-mount standard NEMA 4 enclosure simplifies installation.
Research and development models have undergone thorough acceptance-testing by independant
high-current test facilities and have been fully approved (test data available upon
request).

Applications for Cost-Effective Operation |
| |
Combined with performing a key role in safe and effective corrosion control, the Rustrol® Cathodic Isolator® also
reduces both the capital and maintenance costs of cathodic protection systems. Cost effective applications include:
- AC fault-current protection across isolating flanges, monolithic isolating joints and other devices.
- Mitigation of induced AC on pipelines and other structures.
- Lightning protection for equipment, including Cathodic Protection Rectifier systems.
- De-coupling of the primary structure (e.g., fueling facility, pipe-type cable systems, etc.) from contact with the electrical utilities grounding network.
And these are just a few typical applications for the Rustrol® Cathodic Isolator®. Other possibilities are limited only by one's imagination. Contact us today to speak with our experts or to request more information.
