Specifications

CP30 · AER04

The CoolPro Cathodic Converter™ is a fan-less, high-current DC–DC converter with an integrated impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) controller, for remote solar‑powered sites. Its low-heat design reduces component temperature and thermal cycling, and its weatherproof enclosure suits the harsh sites where cathodic protection is often deployed. Units can run in parallel to protect large metallic structures.
