An area of reinforcement becomes anodic due to chloride or carbonation ingress. Corrosion is stopped if: Oxygen at cathode stopped Full immersion Small cathode Resistance of electrolyte high Low due to chloride & water Electrons supplied from alternative anode Anodic and cathodic reaction are critical to how the cell works.

A small potential shift gives cathodic prevention, i.e. a high chloride corrosion threshold for cathodic steel. Use low output anodes for incipient anode protections. A large potential shift gives cathodic protection, i.e. immunity from corrosion for active steel. Use high out put anodes (ZLA range) for true CP and no breakout. SACP systems must provide 100mv 24hr potential decay criteria
ZAP output LiOH output Intersection of steel and anode tests gives polarisation expected from anode Test system set up
