The Effects of Corrosion on the Electrical System

Corrosion in electrical systems typically represents only a fraction of the direct costs for many industries, but it yields a disproportionately large share of the indirect costs. Corrosion in electrical contacts creates high resistance and unreliable connections, which lead to poor power quality. In production and manufacturing, where downtime can be very costly, failure of a relatively inexpensive electrical component that leads to loss of power and control to production equipment can quickly add up to thousands of dollars in lost productivity. In aircraft, corrosion that causes electrical system failure can result in loss of life.

Electrical systems, therefore, are a prime area in which an upfront investment in corrosion protection returns significant cost savings, as well as increased safety and other benefits, over the long term. This means selecting electrical conduit, fittings, support systems and accessories in corrosion-resistant materials appropriate for the environment in which they’ll be installed.
