CS-1 Magnesium Anode Simulator

Description

The CS-1 Magnesium Anode Simulator is a portable, precision DC current source designed to simulate the effect of a standard magnesium anode in cathodic protection systems. With adjustable current up to 1.7 amps, the CS-1 enables technicians to perform real-time “what if” scenarios to assess pipeline protection requirements and optimize CP system performance.

Built into a rugged MIL-SPEC case, the CS-1 is engineered for demanding field conditions and provides highly accurate output readings on its integrated LCD display with 1 milliamp resolution. Whether you’re conducting CP current requirement testing or pipeline maintenance assessments, the CS-1 Magnesium Anode Simulator offers a reliable and repeatable solution.
