CATHODIC PROTECTION TRANSFORMER RECTIFIERS

Why Powerstax / DP?

Using Cathodic Protection Transformer / Rectifiers (T/R’s) from Powerstax and DP Energy Services Ltd offers a number of advantages.

We have gained a reputation for manufacturing robust, high quality products, you can be rest assured that your installation will be adequately protected from the environment.

The unit will operate reliably, require minimal maintenance and is protected against spurious tripping out.

Powerstax and DP can offer full technical back-up, from design to after sales service. This leaflet should provide a good overview of the equipment we can supply.

Please contact our Powerstax Sales Department for technical advice and prices. 

Powerstax Typical Applications
