What is a Decoupler?
A device that acts as an open switch for low voltage DC and a closed switch for AC signals• Blocks DC up to a predetermined
voltage threshold typically 2 to 3 volts
• Very low impedance to AC
• Device switches to shorted mode when voltage reaches threshold, normal mode after the event

• Rated for AC faults & lightning
• Continuously pass steady state AC current induced from nearby power transmission lines
• Provide lowest clamping voltages feasible
• Automatically reset after fault event
• “Fail-safe” design
• No maintenance – solid state design
• 3rd party certified for hazardous locations use and safety grounding/bonding

• Best practice is to install a decoupler device at insulated joints to prevent arcing.
• Minimize conduction path length – bus bar mounting
• Use decouplers instead of Over-Voltage Protectors if steady-state AC is present

As part of an effective AC mitigation system decouplers …
• Create a low impedance AC path to ground
• Provide safety during abnormal conditions
• Reduce the risk of AC corrosion
• Any grounding material may be used, since decoupled and not part of the CP system
• Decouplers have no detrimental effect on the CP system
• Any cathodically protected pipe-to-ground connection should use a decoupler

• Use IR free coupons
• Install isolation switch
• Run CIS without decoupler connected

Exposure and risks
Generally easy to identify:
• Structures are referenced, but create dissimilar metal bonds, affect CP.
Non-obvious:
• Structures unreferenced to ground
• Structures unreferenced to each other
• Is this a classified hazardous area?
Unreferenced = not bonded, open circuit, can support voltage difference

Things to Consider With Station Features
• Generally, your station is a galvanic stewpot of mixed metals. Balance life extension with complexity in your design efforts.
• Your neighbor’s station on the other side of the fence, and effect of bonding/not on CP and safety.– May need to decouple your station from power co due to
neighbor’s problems, even if not for your own CP effectiveness.
• Hazardous areas and use of over-voltage products and methods – must be comply with codes.– May allow/affect location of products
– Div 2 vs Div 1 product ratings, cost
