Our Cathodic Protection (CP) Cables are essential components in Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) systems, engineered for durability, high conductivity, and superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
Request a QuoteCathodic Protection Cables serve as the vital link in ICCP systems, connecting the rectifier to the anodes and the protected structure. Unlike standard electrical cables, CP cables must withstand severe environmental stresses, including corrosive soil, chemical exposure, and moisture ingress, while maintaining high electrical conductivity to ensure the protective current is delivered effectively and reliably.
Conductor: High-purity stranded copper for maximum current flow and flexibility.
Primary Insulation: Typically High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (HMWPE) or Kynar (PVDF) for superior chemical and abrasion resistance.
Jacket (Optional): A secondary layer for added mechanical protection in extremely harsh or rocky environments.
HMWPE and PVDF insulation materials are specifically chosen for their resistance to acids, alkalis, and hydrocarbons found in soil and water.
Ensures minimal current leakage, maximizing the efficiency of the ICCP system and reducing power loss.
Built to withstand mechanical stress during installation and long-term burial, minimizing the risk of failure.
Suitable for both direct burial and above-ground applications, maintaining integrity in all weather conditions.
We supply various types of CP cables, each meeting stringent industry standards (e.g., ASTM, NACE) for different application requirements.
| Cable Type | Insulation Material | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|
| HMWPE Cable | High Molecular Weight Polyethylene | General purpose direct burial in soil and freshwater. |
| Kynar (PVDF) Cable | Polyvinylidene Fluoride | Internal connections to anodes, deep well groundbeds, highly corrosive environments. |
| XLPE Cable | Cross-Linked Polyethylene | Used for header cables and general wiring in CP systems. |
Wire Gauge (AWG): Typically 8 AWG, 10 AWG, 12 AWG, and larger sizes for high-current applications.
Voltage Rating: Standard 600V or higher for ICCP systems.
Color: Usually black for UV resistance and industry standard.
Pipeline Protection: Connecting anodes and test stations along buried oil, gas, and water pipelines.
Tank Protection: Wiring for groundbeds protecting underground and aboveground storage tank bottoms.
Marine Structures: Used in ICCP systems for offshore platforms, jetties, and ship hulls.
Deep Well Groundbeds: Kynar-insulated cables are essential for the highly corrosive environment near the anode.
