Advanced anti-corrosion technology is designed to enhance switchgear performance.
Inertia Engineering has announced the addition of thermal diffusion galvanization (TDG) to the performance and reliability-enhancing features of its industry-leading LineBOSS™ Unitized Sidebreak Line Switch series. TDG is a significant advancement over conventional hot-dip galvanizing. It employs a method of applying a uniform, sacrificial zinc-iron alloy utilizing a metallurgical vapor diffusion process tested to ASTM 1059 and has been approved by the U.S. Department of the Navy for salt corrosion protection. As a "green” technology, TDG substantially outperforms conventional mild steel protection, without the environmental impacts of other processes. Applying the TDG process to critical ferrous components provides corrosion protection unmatched by any other outdoor switchgear.
“Inertia Engineering has partnered with Kortick manufacturing to produce the first highly corrosion-resistant, TDG-protected switchgear in the industry,” says Dean Sanders, Inertia’s founder and CEO. “Adding TDG is an important milestone in reducing the cost of ownership and improving switchgear reliability. This is one of the many innovative advances engineered into Inertia's robust-yet-elegant LineBOSS™ outdoor switchgear and switch automation products.”
