Tubular Anode Cable Selection

ELTECH Systems Corporation recommends dual-insulated cable, such as PVDF/HMWPE cable for use where anodes operate in groundbeds high in chlorides - resulting in chlorines gas generation.

Where chlorides are not anticipated, such as shallow vertical and horizontal surface beds, an economical cable choice is HMWPE.

The high current capacity (150 amps) and flexibility of the Exane Rig cable makes it ideal for seawater applications.
