Electrical Engineering - Impressed Current Cathodic Protection And Sacrificial Anode


Expert: cleggsan - 12/24/2006

Question
Dear all
In our plant we use ICCP system.We placed several sacrificial anodes (10) at several points(10).Let say we have ten of them. A few days ago, only 9 out of ten anodes function. Does the 9 anodes can cover all the 10 areas? Or one anode is dedicated to the area it is connected only?

Another question, how can we know the sacrificial anode is no longer good and need to be replaced?What are the signs of sacrificial anode deterioration?

Answer
Sorry, I must know which system you are talking about.

This kind of system:

or the electrical coating system for power generating systems?   like as to this:
http://www.titanindia.com/insoluble%20anodes.html

If you are talking about the bolt downs of the current carriers and the electrodeposits causing power loss and one drops out due to too much resistance, then the other 9 would have to carry the load - if the other nine generators have sufficient output power to cope with it..........
