🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between sacrificial anode systems and impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems • Purpose of electrical insulation between anodes and the hull in ICCP • Which parts in ICCP actually consume/waste away vs which are designed to be long‑life

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: in ICCP, is the hull made more negative by directly wasting the anodes, or by an external power source pushing current? • Think about why you would (or would not) want a direct metal-to-metal connection between the anode and hull in a system where current is being forced by a rectifier. • Consider which system—sacrificial or impressed current—needs frequent anode replacement and why.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether ICCP anodes are directly bonded to the hull or electrically insulated from it. • Check if ICCP anodes are designed to be consumable like zinc/aluminum anodes, or long‑life with minimal loss of material. • Be sure you can clearly distinguish ICCP from sacrificial anode protection before picking an answer.
