INC3 - Current Interrupter for ON/OFF tecnique testing.

INC3 is a CURRENT INTERRUPTER specifically designed to use in the ON-OFF cycle tests on cathodic protection systems.

It allows you to stop cyclically and in a programmed sequence, the current provided by the Cathodic Power Supply, in order to assess the polarization of the pipeline by means of the on-off technique.

The switch is of "static" type (MOSFET transistors), and manages currents of  15A / 30A / 60A / 100A without any constraint on the polarity, as with 150V voltage maximum interruptible, and without the bounces and typical timing inaccuracies of electromechanical contactor .

This device is characterized by an internal clock synchronized with the UTC time, thanks to the presence of the integrated GPS module. This allows the synchronized switching of two or more plants with very high precision and stability.

On demand, a remote management module (embedded) by SMS via GSM is available.

The apparatus is simple to use, both for the presence on board of a graphic LCD, both for the possibility to program it via the PC (free software provided).

INC3 is equipped with a special terminal suitable for the power cables connection to the circuit on test (cables up to 35 mm2); it is powered by an internal rechargeable battery for longer range, but can also operate with an external source (USB or power adapter 12V / 300mA supplied); the external source also provides for the charging of the internal battery.

INC3 is also available in the TL version designed for use in 230V AC systems with maximum 100A AC (electromechanical switches).
