The Model
RI ICE PackTM is a self-contained unit consisting of a constant
current rectifier connected to a high silicon iron anode and packaged in a cotton
bag containing calcined petroleum coke. The rectifier circuit is available in
both half wave and full wave models. Half wave rectifiers are used for a structure
electrically bonded to the power company grounding system; full wave units are
used when the structure is electrically isolated from the grounding system.
This unique circuit does not generate heat; therefore, it is completely encapsulated
in potting compound to protect it from the environment. Each ICE PackTM
can replace several magnesium anodes; and with a design life of 20 years, it
also eliminates one anode replacement cycle. ICE PackTM
are a cost effective alternative for cathodically protecting any underground
structure.
