Because there are many different possible tank and cathodic protection system configurations that may occur, it is not feasible to attempt to illustrate every situation that may exist and the examples given in the following sections are offered as representative of some typical scenarios to illustrate the general principles. It may sometimes be necessary for you to utilize judgement to apply the intent of this guidance document when circumstances arise that are not specifically addressed in this guidance document.
All galvanic cathodic protection systems must be tested with the reference electrode placed both locally and remotely. Impressed current systems are only required to be tested with the reference electrode placed locally.
