 AERL CP30 30-Amp Impressed Current Cathodic Protection Controller
AERL COOLPRO Cathodic Protection controllers are suitable for use from either an AC mains powered transformer / rectifier DC supply, or directly from a DC (battery) source in applications where photovoltaics are used to supply electrical power to charge a lead-acid storage battery.
AERL’s COOLPRO CATHODIC CONVERTER™, the latest series in the AERL CATHODIC CONVERTER™ range, is more powerful and efficient than previous Cathodic Protection Controllers with peak power efficiencies now 98%!! AERL’s COOLPRO CATHODIC CONVERTER™ also now has a new revolutionary ultra-low heat, high efficiency thermal design, with passive cooling capacity, eliminating the need for cooling fans or bulky heatsinks and making it, therefore, now the most efficient, reliable, compact and lightweight Cathodic Protection Controller on the market!
Since 1985, AERL has been designing and manufacturing highly reliable and efficient specialised power electronics for use in Solar PV, Micro Hydro, Micro Wind and Cathodic Protection applications. AERL has supplied literally thousands of controllers to satisfied customers all around the world. AERL’s MPPT controllers have now totalled an astonishing 750 million field operating hours and supplied an incredible 12 Megawatts of power (installed capacity) to customers worldwide. AERL controllers have been protecting pipelines and metal structures in the Middle East, Europe, America and Australasia for over 20 years.
What is a Cathodic Protection Controller?
A Cathodic Protection Controller is a highly specialized electonic controller which is designed to protect oil, gas and water pipelines and other ferrous metal structures from rust and corrosion. It successfully reduces the corrosion rate of these metal structures by electronically shifting the corrosion potential of the electrode towards reduced oxidizing potential.

Why use an AERL COOLPRO CATHODIC CONVERTER™ CP Controller?SIGNIFICANT R&D INVESTMENT: 20 years of R&D and millions of dollars have gone into the making of AERL’s COOLPRO CATHODIC CONVERTER™ range of CP controls.
ESTABLISHED REPUTATION: AERL Cathodic Protection controllers already possess a long established
reputation for being highly reliable and efficient.
HIGH EFFICIENCY: COOLPRO’s ultra low loss, high efficient design with peak power efficiencies
now up to 98% makes it easily the most efficient off grid Cathodic Protection controller on
the market.<br>
COOL OPERATION: COOLPRO’S revolutionary new ultra-low heat, high efficiency thermal design
with passive cooling capacity eliminates the need for cooling fans or bulky heatsinks.
COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT: – AERL’s COOLPRO controller is much smaller than other Cathodic
Protection controllers on the market being 240mm x 160mm x 75mm in size and weighing only
1.5kg!
ONBOARD SURGE PROTECTION: Multiple onboard 4.5KA surge arrestors provide a high degree of
protection against lightning-induced potentials
HIGH SPEED ON/OFF CONTROL: Eliminates need for expensive external current interrupters for
measurement of instantaneous off potential
LOW STAND-BY CURRENT CONSUMPTION: Stand-by current consumption only 35 mA
LOW Battery Reset Function
OUTPUT VOLTAGE LIMIT FUNCTION
CONSTANT OUTPUT CURRENT FUNCTION
DRIVES IN PARALLEL: Controllers can drive in parallel to provide any desired level of anti-corrosion
protection. (except for structure potential control mode)
INPUT REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION: 40A printed-circuit fuse blows with incorrect DC supply
polarity (spare replacement fuse provided with every unit)
OPTIONAL DIGITAL LCD AMP/VOLT METER: Integral metering module option – the flick of a 4-position
switch monitors all DC input and output voltages and current
OPTIONAL EXTRA SURGE PROTECTION: 50 KA/500 Joule “Surge Buster” Lightning Protection Module
for pipeline applications and areas extra prone to lightning
OPTIONAL REF CELL: Constant Potential Reference Cell Control Option
HIGHLY RELIABLE OPERATION: AERL’s COOLPRO controller can successfully operate in temperature
extremes ranging from -20 to 50°C (ambient)
ULTRA LOW RFI & EMI EMISSIONS: State of the art switching controller design makes for very
low RFI and EMI emissions
ROBUST AND RELIABLE: Mil spec conformal coating on both sides of the printed circuit board,
sealed potentiometer, gold plated switch contacts and a waterproof IP66 rated GAINTA polycarbonate
enclosure ensures long term reliability especially in harsh tropical and marine environments
EASY SERVICING: Custom made, compact, lightweight and easily replaceable plug-in control
module provides for exceptionally simple servicing should a fault develop
