The corrosion control experiences of Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative (NOVEC) are presented. The discussion includes (1) survey testing procedures, (2) designing of cathodic protection systems, (3) criteria for selecting material, (4) installation and maintenance procedures of cathodic protection systems, and (5) an economical evaluation of cathodic protection system installations. It is the opinion of NOVEC that impressed current systems, supplemented by galvanic sacrificial anodes, can provide economical corrosion protection of existing direct-buried copper concentric neutral wires.
