    The Capac® system is an automatic cathodic protection system that prevents corrosion of underwater metal parts on boats and structures. It includes a controller, one or more platinum anodes, a silver reference electrode, and a panel meter. The anode supplies a protective current through the water to shield all submerged metals from corrosion. Capac® systems are available for vessels up to 65 feet and structures, and can operate from 12V DC or 110/120V AC power sources. The system monitors the protection level and automatically adjusts the anode voltage to counter corrosion.

    Capac The Corrosion Protection System

    Leading Boat Manufacturers Install


    the Capac System
    The 90W12D Capac system is a completely automatic,
    impressed current cathodic protection system for steel
    hulled boats up to 65 feet (20 m)and wood or fiberglass
    hulls to at least 100 feet (30 m). It will prevent
    corrosion or rusting of all underwater exposed metals.
    The system includes a fully automated controller, one
    or more platinum surfaced anodes, a silver control
    electrode (reference electrode) and a panel meter
    which confirms corrosion control. The anode is fixed to
    the hull as a through-hull fitting. The protective
    current originates from this anode and flows via the
    water into the submerged metal parts, always in the
    optimum intensity to eliminate corrosion regardless of
    water temperature, speed or the condition of the paint
    system. The Capac system operates from a power
    source of 12V DC (negative ground). The system will
    operate from shore based power (110/120 VAC) if a
    power converter is installed (110/120 VAC to 12 VDC).
    An optional feature allowing operation from a 24 VDC
    power source is available from Siemens Water
    Technologies at an extra cost.
    Capac systems are available for all sizes and types of
    craft, as well as for fixed structures.
    How The Capac System Works
    Corrosion or rust is the result of chemical action
    associated with, and inseparable from, the flow of
    electricity. This phenomenon is fundamentally the
    same whether it is classified as galvanic corrosion,
    electrolysis or electrolytic corrosion. Different metals,
    and even various areas of the same metal, exhibit high
    and low potential areas when placed in water. When
    electrical continuity exists between these metal
    surfaces, electricity will leave the points of higher
    potential, flow through the water and enter the areas of
    lower potential. In areas where the current leaves the
    metal (anodic areas) corrosion takes place; but where
    sufficient current re-enters, no corrosion takes place.

    Water Technologies

    The function of this system is to supply current from


    an anode(s) so that current is forced to flow through
    the water into all submerged metal surfaces and
    shield them from corrosion. Platinum is unique
    among metals since it will not dissolve when current
    leaves its surface, hence the anode surface is
    platinum coated. To ensure that the optimum amount
    of current is supplied on demand, a special silver
    sensor element (known as a reference anode)
    monitors the degree of protection provided and
    guides the solid state controller power supply to
    impress the proper voltage on the anode(s) to
    counter corrosion as the circumstances require.

    Many underwater metal appendages on these crafts are made of bronze, brass, stainless steel, etc. In such instances the anode should be
    spaced at a generous distance from any particular appendage, but all of these appendages must electrically be tied together. Generally one
    anode will suffice, but where keel-coolers or other large appendages are installed two anodes may be necessary.
