Cathodic Protection of a 2,200' (670m) section of 2" coated steel natural gas distribution main in 156,000 OHM/CM soil, was accomplished through the adaptation of photovoltaic (solar) cells to a battery powered impressed current anode station. The objective of this test is to produce a cost effective method of applying cathodic protection to electrically isolated sections of coated gas distribution mains in extremely high resistant soil areas.
