Section 11-5-2-280.1-6.1 - Equipment
Although the equipment required to test cathodic protection systems is relatively simple, it is very important that the equipment be maintained in good working order and is free of corrosion and contamination. The basic equipment includes a voltmeter/ammeter (multimeter), reference electrode, wires, clips and test probes.
It may also be necessary to have a current interrupter for impressed current systems when the power cannot be easily cut on and off at the rectifier. A clamp-on type ammeter can be useful when troubleshooting impressed current systems. Wire locators can help determine the location of buried anode lead wires and header cables. Hand tools to clean corrosion or dielectric coatings from the surface of the structure you are testing at the point of contact with lead wires/probes may also be necessary.
