| •Products Introduction | Ask a Corrosion Engineer. |
These are facts:
1. Many legal precedents and successful actions, based on documentation and experience since the early 1900s firmly establish that stray current causes electrolysis corrosion. This is proven fact.
2.
Medium to large professional fishing boats, warships, tugs and oil well heads on wet platforms are all wired with all DC (battery voltage) isolated from all metal in contact with water, to protect from stray current-electrolysis corrosion. Engines are manufactured as standard with all DC fully isolated from all wet metal. Unfortunately most domestic vessels are not.
2. I was signing a log, every day, when I first went to sea in 1965: We called DC connections to wet metal Earths. After testing with a test lamp I signed the submarines Clear of Earths. I used fixed and portable test lamps, mutimeters and meggars (test equipment) to prove insulation was good.
3. A test lamp, portable or those in Distribution Boxes, at 24 volts DC draws 1 amp. To produce any luminance, visible even in the dark, the lamp must draw at least 100 mAmps ( 0.1 amp ). We how that 2 mAmps ( 0.002 amp ) will cause electrolysis corrosion visible in 3 months. See photographic proof at: Photographic proof .
Every time we dry docked the submarine we found more electrolysis corrosion, despite the test lamps and equipment assurances there was no stray current.
That is why I developed SeaBis. When SeaBis indicates Normal - protection is continuous.
