In recent years, anode materials have been introduced which are capable of higher sustained current outputs over conventional anodes. The paper will discuss various design parameters including anode geometry, anode-cable connections, temperature effects and soil environment as related to overall cathodic protection system design. Theoretical and laboratory data will be presented including comparisons between conventional and more recently developed anode materials, with particular emphasis on temperature effects.
