THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS IN THE CATHODIC PROTECTION OF WIRE ROPE

Abstract

A theoretical discussion of the problem of current distribution along a wire rope cathode is discussed. A curve has been estimated from these considerations which shows the current distribution factor for 1 1/4 inch wire rope for several anode potentials. The conclusions drawn from this study show that it is impossible to protect several thousand feet of bare wire rope from a central anode location, but that many thousand feet of even imperfectly coated wire rope could easily be provided cathodic protection from a central location.
