Over the past several years there has been increasing interest in galvanic anode systems designed to protect structures in seawater over long periods of time without need for anode renewal. The present experiment was designed to simulate anode service on a painted structure where the initial current demand is low and would increase markedly at some future time because of paint deterioration. From past experience with galvanic anodes the possibility of limited current output from the anodes when the demand became high, because of the buildup of high resistance films on the anodes during the low current density phase, was deemed sufficiently great to warrant investigation.
