Approximate electrical resistance @ 25 C of wire |
φ1.5mm, 751537 microhm/ft |
φ3.0mm, 181884 microhm/ft |
Parameters:
Environment (anode maximum operating current density) |
Current output/meter 1.5mm dia wire |
Current output/m 3.0mm dia wire |
In carbonaceous backfill (current density of 50 A/m²) |
0.25 A/m |
0.5 A/m |
In petroleum coke backfill (current density of 100 A/m²) |
0.5 A/m |
1.0 A/m |
In fresh water (current density of 100 A/m²) |
0.5 A/m |
1.0 A/m |
In seawater (current density of 600 A/m²) |
3.0 A/m |
6.0 A/m |
Design life: 20 years + when operating at an anode current density as above
Anode life can be extended up to 30 years or more by increasing the thickness of the MMO coating
