What is cathodic protection?
Cathodic Protection (CP) is a technique used to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it the cathode of an electrochemical cell.
What is AC mitigation?
AC mitigation is the process of designing and applying pipeline grounding systems to:
• Prevent voltage spikes during fault conditions
• Reduce AC current density to protect against AC induced corrosion
• Maintain AC step and touch potentials below 15 Vac to protect personnel from shock hazards
