Comparison of CP System
Impressed Current Sacrificial Anode
System
Longer Anode Life, Simple, No Monitoring &
Monitoring Required Control
Current can be controlled No requirement for electrical
isolation
Can be used in any Usually Used in lower
resistivity environment resistivity electrolyte
Can Be Used for any type Used for very small or well
structure coated structure
Higher Cost Lower Cost
Application
Pipelines are routinely protected by a coating
supplemented with cathodic Protection.
