Design of cathodic protection (CP) for underground facilities in large plants is a problem. A method is described for performing data interpretation of field cathodic current requirement tests on large plant structures. It is possible to perform meaningful tests with small temporary current sources and arrive at a design where final requirements are many times larger. Examples of its use at a power plant and an air separation plant are given.
