Solar Cathodic Protection Units
Modern photovoltaic (solar) powered solutions from JA Electronics allow your project to be protected by an impressed current corrosion prevention system where AC mains can not reach.

JA Electronics manufactures the Omega II® solar-powered
cathodic protection controller for the corrosion prevention industry. These controllers differ from rectifiers, because they are powered by the sun's energy rather than by commercial AC power. Some engineers call them solar cathodic protection rectifiers, because they provide power to the impressed current system in the same way as a mains-powered rectifier.
All JA Electronics solar powered solutions use the patented Omega II controller to provide a protection waveform with extremely low ripple. Since 1998, we have provided many complete solar powered cathodic protection systems
and retrofit units for installation across the USA.

Reliable Kyocera® solar arrays power these units
(manufacturer warranties applicable) and gel-cell batteries made specifically for solar applications insure efficient storage of solar power to protect your structures.
These controllers deliver the same quality and performance that have built
JA Electronics' reputation for excellence in corrosion prevention.

Even if the majority of your project is within reach of
AC mains for cathodic protection, you may be able to improve the protection
of your overall system by installing one
or more solar powered units in areas where commercial power is not convenient.
Solar powered protection units are supplied in base mount and pole mount
varieties. The pole mount solution includes a two-piece pole and enclosure
assembly for easy installation and maintenance. The pole
assembly is also used as a conduit for the ground bed leads.

For installations requiring a large number of solar panels or additional batteries,
a base-mount solution is also available. On all solar cathodic
protection products, separate day and night output control is provided
to allow reduced output at night. The two outputs may be set at any
time of the day or night.
|
Only mil-spec components are used in our solar powered
controller boards. These systems are equipped with over-current
and over-voltage protection on the input and
output sides, and also protected from lightning damage
on the input and
output sides.

All solar cathodic protection units from JA Electronics are covered by a
one-year warranty against defects in components and craftsmanship.
