Introduction to the working principle of RS-5 electronic anti-rust system-EEWORLD

The RustStop® RS-5 (formerly Rust Stop RS2000) electronic rust preventer successfully combines impressed current and sacrificial anode technology to effectively overcome the limitations of "traditional cathodic protection" to prevent rust on your car. Rust is essentially an electrochemical process. The RustStop® RS-5 system acts like a "rust magnet," absorbing the electrons that would otherwise cause rust on your car. Then the RustStop® "rust magnet" corrodes, not your car, allowing you to see for yourself that the system is preventing rust!

Working Principle of RS-5 Electronic Rust Prevention System

This diagram shows the RustStop® system turned off. As you can see, the free electrons react with the iron atoms to form rust. Sacrificial Anodes: When RustStop® is installed, four sacrificial anodes, called "rust magnets" (rust plates), are spaced and connected to areas of the vehicle where water tends to collect or pass through.

When the RustStop® system is turned on, the system command module applies a 45 volt positive charge to the rusted plate (sacrificial anode), causing the iron atoms and impurity atoms to become negatively charged relative to the rusted plate. Free electrons are attracted through the iron to the 45 volt positively charged rusted plate, rather than the negatively charged iron atoms. When the free electrons reach the rusted plate, the plate is corroded (sacrificed). This means that without the RustStop® electronic rust preventer, corrosion that forms on the rusted plate will appear somewhere on the vehicle.

The corrosion of the RustStop® rust-resistant plates (sacrificial anodes) lets you see with your own eyes that the system is preventing rust.

You will see for yourself that the system is preventing rust!

NOTE: The RustStop® RS-5 electronic rust preventer works so well because the output voltage on the rust plate is stepped up to 45 volts, which creates a large voltage difference between the car and the rust plate, making the rust plate's attraction to the free electrons extremely strong, and the entire system works very effectively. Impressed Current: Impressed current works by controlling the free electrons in the metal of the car by the impressed current released by the RustStop® RS-5 command module. The weak attraction of the iron atoms to the free electrons is blocked by the strong, uniform flow of electrons (impressed current) flowing through the metal of the car body. In short, the continuous flow of electrons in the metal prevents the free electrons from reacting with the iron atoms to form rust. RustStop® RS-5 uses both sacrificial anode and impressed current technology, making it the most effective electronic rust preventer system for cars available today.
