Cathodic Calculation Rule

1. The document calculates the total circuit resistance of a cathodic protection system to be 0.828386618873 ohms based on individual resistance measurements. 2. It provides specifications for the backfill resistivity, number and length of anodes, and soil resistivity used to calculate resistances. 3. The current requirement is calculated to be either 1.379873 or 2.0698095 amps depending on if the structure is coated or bare steel.
