Solcon's New Impressed Current Cathodic Protection System Insures Pipeline and Storage Facility Integrity

MARCH 4, 2010: Corroded pipelines and storage facilities can lead to serious leakage that can have a devastating impact on the environment and system efficiencies. The new SCP-C “Smart” Rectifier provides the ultimate solution for continuous supervisory operation…protecting both the environment and your bottom line.

SOLCON is the innovator of cathodic protection and corrosion control using solid state technology based on over three decades of experience. As an established world leader in high technology control products, Solcon is about to change the way the industry approaches cathodic protection.
The SCP-C “Smart” Rectifier is a micro-processor based control that offers four modes of operation: constant voltage, constant current, constant potential and instant off. This allows you to control the voltage and the impressed current and automatically adjust to almost any conditions. Unlike traditional ‘passive’ cathodic protection systems, the SCP-C Smart rectifier can handle changes in soil resistivity, bare or coated pipeline systems and objects of nearly any size.

Low Voltage Soft Starters Now Available from Solcon USA

June 12, 2009: Ratings from 230-1000V up to 3000A
Solcon USA is pleased to announce the availability of the RVS-DN and RVS-DX low voltage soft starter product line in North America. As one of the leading manufacturers of solid state reduced voltage soft starters, Solcon Industries LTD. established Solcon USA to service and support the North American market by having readily available inventory in their soon-to-be established warehouse locations in the U.S. Technical and sales support is provided from Solcon USA’s headquarters in Florida and through select representatives located in key market areas. Solcon has been manufacturing low voltage solid state soft starters for over 30 years. The company is
recognized throughout the world for their highly engineered motor control products, including the HRVS-DN medium voltage soft starter with ratings from 2.3-15kV.

The heavy duty RVS-DN and the compact RVS-DX with built in bypass ensure smooth, step-less acceleration and deceleration of AC induction motors, eliminating high inrush currents and mechanical shocks to the motor and the load. The product is UL listed and manufactured under ISO9001:2000. Marine duty and explosion proof models are also available.

Literature Release: New Medium Voltage Soft Starter Catalog from Solcon USA

Nov 5, 2008: Solcon USA has released a new catalog featuring Solcon’s HRVS-DN medium voltage soft starter. This catalog offers a concise technical description of the various soft starter technologies and how they work. It highlights the unique features and benefits of the Solcon HRVS-DN Series and the specific advantages this product offers over traditional electromechanical reduced voltage and across-the-line starting methods. A handy “FAQ” section is included which addresses many of the frequently asked questions regarding the application of medium voltage soft starters in industrial applications. The HRVS-DN medium voltage soft starter is used to ensure smooth, step-less acceleration and deceleration of critical motors, eliminating high inrush currents and mechanical shocks to the motor and the load. It is a cost effective and viable alternative to using more expensive and more complex variable frequency drives in applications where variable speed control is not needed but where soft starting (and stopping) is a requirement.

As a leading manufacturer of medium voltage soft starters, SOLCON is recognized throughout the world for having the broadest range of MV soft starters on the market: from 2.3 to 15kV and in current ratings up to 2500A. The SOLCON HRVS-DN soft starter has been field proven and accepted in the gas & oil, water-waste/water, mining, concrete & aggregate, marine and the general industrial markets.

The HRVS-DN product is manufactured under ISO9001:2000 and according to the applicable sections of the following standards: IEC, CE, DIN EN and UL347. The product has also been certified for marine & offshore applications by Llloyds, ABS, DNV and others as per specific application requirements.
