Cathodic protection of many structures can be greatly simplified by the proper use of DC isolating/AC coupling devices. One primary example is DC isolation of cathodically protected structures from electrical grounding systems while retaining AC continuity with those systems as required by electrical codes. This article illustrates how cathodically protected structures, which contain electrical equipment, can be DC isolated from: (a) the power utility grounding system, or (b) both the power utility`s and user`s grounding systems.
