Abstract
The effective distribution of cathodic protection current to bare or poorly coated cross country pipelines in high resistivity soils depends greatly on the type of impressed current groundbed installed. Continuous anode groundbeds provide better current distribution with lower groundbed resistances than traditional distributed anode groundbeds. Total installation and operating costs of continuous anode systems are less expensive than that of distributed systems over the life of the groundbed.
