Video Training: Basics of Isolation and Safety Grounding

This video covers the basics of using decouplers to simultaneously isolate DC (Cathodic Protection) current while also providing safety grounding to prevent harmful situations from AC fault current and lightning.

Video Training: Decoupler 101

In this brief review of solid-state decoupling devices we'll look at when decoupling products should used in the corrosion/cathodic protection industry and discuss some of the basic decoupler features and ratings.

Testing a Decoupler

On occasion, field testing of DEI decouplers may be required if the product performance is being questioned or if the product is suspected to be failed. Such testing can readily be done, either by indirect methods, or through a direct test, which requires only removing one lead (either lead) from the decoupler.

Video Training: Safety Considerations for AC Mitigation Designs

This three part training session focuses on key mitigation concepts including touch/step potentials, lightning & AC fault considerations, ground mat design, and the use of decouplers in mitigation design.

Lightning Surge Current Effect on Over-Voltage Protection

A common application of DEI products in cathodically protected systems is to provide over-voltage protection due to lightning. A typical example would be that of providing over-voltage protection of an insulated joint in a gas transmission pipeline.
