Some important points about cathodic protection

The potential gradients consequent of the ground bed won't decrease during becoming -1
remote from the ground bed it would increase, until the gradient becomes near to zero.

If a foreigner pipe line located between the ground bed and our pipe line, it should cause -2
corrosion in the way the current comes out from the foreigner pipe line and ,,the more
important,, the diameter and size of the foreigner pipe line becomes more little, the
probability to corrosion is less.

A full storage tank needs more current for cathodic protection than an empty storage -3
tank.

Insulating flanges in sea water doesn't need coatings, they are the best ways for -4
potential measurements in sea water.

Casings are 2 nominal diameters larger than the main pipe line. -5

If the positive current in the transformer was less than the negative one, it's probable -6
connected to earthing wire, if the negative current in the transformer is less than the
positive one it's probable to make a short circuit.

If the AC current in the transformer becomes more than 100A, cathodic protection can't -7
work, if more than 30A, there may be a corrosion.
