CAT Electronic Rust Protection Systems
The CAT System is one of the Best Electronic Rust Protection System for motor vehicles in Australia and is a very popular and effective alternative rustproofing solution.
CAT Electronic Rust Protection Systems operate by “impressing” or “forcing” an alternating current (AC) of a specific waveform and frequency into the metallic body of the vehicle which interrupts the rusting process.
The CAT Electronic Rust Protection System is a high-quality product that uses the most advanced technology to protect your vehicle from rust and corrosion. It can work by itself or together with our spray-on coatings to create a powerful multi-layer rust protection solution for your vehicle.
Selection Guide
For passenger 2WD & 4WD vehicles that mainly drive on sealed roads, we recommend using the "2 Coupler" System. If you occasionally go off-road, we suggest the "4 Coupler" System. For those who frequently operate their vehicle near saltwater or on the beach, the "6 Coupler" System is the ideal choice. For vehicles used in high-risk environments, such as mine sites or coastal/offshore facilities, we highly recommend the "8 Coupler" System.

Key Features
Purpose designed for Rust Suppression
The CAT Electronic Anti-Corrosion System is purpose-built to prevent rust in motor vehicles, trucks, buses, air conditioners, plant, and machinery of all types. It provides reliable, long-lasting protection across a wide range of applications and environments.
Auto-Switching 12V or 24V Operation
The CAT System automatically detects whether it’s connected to a 12VDC or 24VDC battery or power supply. It adjusts its internal operation and diagnostics accordingly, ensuring efficient performance in any compatible electrical system setup.
Modular Design - Easily Expandable
The Main Generator Module includes two output circuits, each supporting up to 6 coupler pads (or 12 in total). Additional coupler pads can be added at any time to enhance system performance. This allows easy scalability to suit different vehicle types or environmental conditions.
Shockproof and Waterproof
The full system — including the Control Module, Coupler Pads, Wiring Harness, and all connectors — is built tough. It exceeds IEC529, DIN40050, and IP67 standards, meaning it’s both shockproof and waterproof for max reliability and longevity. It’s engineered to withstand environments without compromising performance.
Why Choose CAT?
Not all electronic rust suppression systems are the same !
Only a "negative electrolysis" - "impressed current" system like CAT is capable of helping prevent rust development in "free air structures" such as motor vehicles and mobile plant and machinery. You can rest assured that every component associated with CAT is of the highest quality, and nothing else in the world can match the performance of a CAT unit in protecting your assets.
An Innovative Product for Harsh Conditions
CAT has been a leader in ERPS (Electronic Rust Prevention Systems) since 1989. Our team of engineers has been tirelessly researching and developing the CAT System, which is a versatile product that consistently delivers exceptional results. With thousands of satisfied customers worldwide, CAT continues to be at the forefront of electronic rust prevention technology.
Modular Design - Expandable
Thanks to its unique modular design, CAT allows for easy expansion at any time. You can conveniently purchase Expansion Packs that enable you to extend the system's operation from 2 Pads up to a maximum of 12 Pads. With these readily available Expansion Packs, expanding the system is a breeze.
