Product Overview

Anode grounding titanium AZT-P SHIK (surface)

The titanium surface-mounted anode earthing device, AZT-P SHIK, hereinafter referred to as "Earthing devices", are intended for use as poorly soluble elements of anode earthing at cathodic protection installations of main pipelines and other underground metal structures.

The earthing device is a surface design consisting of a titanium electrode, a cable and a coupling unit. The titanium electrode power cable, RUNWAY 1x6 mm2 grades are brought to the design length according to the Customer's requirements.

The principle of operation of the anode earthing device is aimed at compensating the negative charge of the soil with positive ions.

The reason for the corrosion of metal in the ground is a high level of moisture, heterogeneous structure and high acidity. As a result, different potentials appear on the surface of the metal product, provoking the appearance of rust.

An additional negative factor that accelerates the destruction of metal is stray currents that appear due to movement on the surface of electric vehicles, power stations, towers of mobile operators and other equipment.

The installation of an anode earthing device guarantees compensation of the negative charge and thereby prolongs the service life of metal products. One grounding is able to protect any metal located underground — pipes, containers, flat surfaces, etc.

Selection Notes

Technical Review Points

  • Review soil or electrolyte resistivity, design current demand and installation depth.
  • Confirm cable routing, connection method, backfill requirements and access for testing.
  • Final selection should be checked against the cathodic protection design calculation.
