- AC Voltage Mitigation on Pipeline Systems



The ISP is the original solid-state AC conducting / DC blocking device designed for the corrosion prevention industry.

Of our products, the ISP has the most flexible and wide range of ratings and applications available. It provides the highest levels of AC fault-handling capability - up to the highest typical transmission system faults.

The ISP was designed with fail-safe construction as a fundamental requirement.
With features and characteristics
determined by user input and our engineering design, the ISP has set the standard for performance.

Indeed, it has become the industry standard device for high fault current applications such as those found at electrical utilities.


Typical Applications

  • Lead Sheath or Pipe-type Cable Casings - AC Grounding and DC Isolation
