Omega II®
Cathodic Protection Bridge/Controller
The Omega II controller provides an extremely low ripple DC output, to improve the quality of your impressed current cathodic protection system. In the images below, notice that the AC component of the unfiltered output of a rectifier system measures over 8.8v RMS, while it is less than 0.1v in the Omega II system output.

The Omega
II bridge/controller can be installed
in new cathodic protection rectifiers, or a replacement kit can be provided for
existing rectifier units. With this technology from JA Electronics,
the output power to your protected structures has 5% or less output
ripple, compared to 45% ripple on standard units.
The patented Omega
II technology has been proven in
Industrial Drives, UPS Systems, and other critical
reliability applications. Today it is installed in all JA Electronics solar-powered
impressed current systems. And you can put it to work in
your corrosion prevention system.
