Selecting and Sizing Decouplers for Reliable System Protection

Hosted by World Pipelines:

Have you ever wondered what decoupler you should choose, or what the threshold ratings mean? Join Phil Eggen as he gives a run through on how to choose the correct decoupler for various applications and how to properly size it based on the voltage thresholds, presence of steady state AC current, and AC fault currents.

Decouplers play a vital role in managing AC interference and fault events while preserving cathodic protection performance. However, not all decouplers are the same – selecting the right device requires a clear understanding of both the electrical environment and the cathodic protection system in which it will operate.

In this webinar, Phil Eggen will walk through the key factors that influence decoupler selection, including voltage thresholds, steady-state AC conditions, and AC fault environments. Attendees will gain practical guidance on how to properly size and apply decouplers across a variety of real-world applications.

Presentation Time = Approximately 45 mins followed by 15 min Q&A.
