The world is becoming increasingly risk-averse, a trend that is particularly more evident in large industrial sites, from petrochemical to food processing sectors. Operators and designers are opting to classify electrical systems as Hazardous Area rather than Non-Hazardous. This approach future-proofs plants and enhances overall safety and reliability in the long term.

Cathodic Protection Co Ltd design and manufacture Oil-Cooled Hazardous Area Transformer Rectifier Units. Certified by a notified body, these units are specifically designed for use on impressed current cathodic protection systems, protecting structures in extreme environments from corrosion. They are certified for Zone 2 hazardous areas and comply with ATEX, IECEx, and UKEx standards. In addition, they are capable of withstanding extreme ambient temperatures ranging from -20°C to +60°C. CPCL continue to offer options for modern transformer rectifier technology for all applications.
The units have both local and remote control capability, to ensure they can be monitored/maintained either on site and in person, or through our Remote Monitoring and Control System (RMCS), whilst following all the standards around ATEX, IECEx and UKEx specifications. Local control is available through external push buttons, without the need to open any enclosures, ensuring no specialist equipment or training is required to operate the unit in the Hazardous area.
