Question 1.In our plant we use ICCP system. L:et say I install 10 sacrificial anodes at 10 points. So one anode is dedicated to one metal/point only. If one anode is faulty and removed, should be the point is not been protected anymore. Can this area be covered by other 9 sacrificial anodes?
2.What are the signs of sacrificial anode deteriorations?
3.In the same area can we have differents type of sacrificial anode ie the material, brand etc. ? Or the anodes will affect each other instead of protecting the structure?
Answer I am still not too sure which system you are talking about, but most corrosion and connection/bus problems are managed by sensors and computer programs that are running the checks on voltage drops, etc. But deterioration is always a voltage loss and heat build up.
Remember; the rule is always, always, always ohms law:
Voltage = current times resistance
or
Current = voltage/resistance
or
Resistance = Voltage/current
And
P = current times voltage
P = current squared times resistance
etc. And power loss is always a heat dissipation in where ever the resistance is in the circuit.
