Tim Bechtel, business development leader at Dairyland Electrical Industries (Stoughton, Wisconsin, USA), will lead a new webcast on Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2022, to examine the basic function of decouplers and over-voltage protection devices.
As part of the conversation, Bechtel will explain how they should be used in conjunction with cathodic protection systems to obtain optimal corrosion and safety protection. He will answer common questions such as why a decoupler is needed and how to test them, once they have been installed.
In the upcoming webcast, Bechtel will demonstrate how using these devices ensures that a cathodically protected structure is properly grounded to comply with local and national electric safety codes, which protect personnel and assets from lightning strikes and electrical faults.
As part of this Oct. 11 webcast, which takes place at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, attendees will learn:
- The basic functions of decouplers and over-voltage protection devices;
- How cathodic protection (CP) systems can be improved by using decouplers;
- Common applications for decouplers;
- How to test a decoupler to ensure it is working properly.
Bechtel has been in the corrosion industry since 2009. He has worked as a contractor on projects throughout the United States to install CP systems, leak detection, coating inspection, and coating remediation.
A NACE-certified CP2 and CIP Level 3, Bechtel offers guidance for a range of applications, including decoupling facilities to improve CP systems; addressing unbalanced loads on electric distribution facilities affecting the dairy industry; galvanic isolation in the marine industry; railroad issues; and more.
