Plattline™
zinc ribbon anodes are used in a variety of applications.
They are used for cathodic protection on buried pipelines,
sacrificial cathodic protection on secondary bottoms
on above-ground storage tanks, for A.C. mitigation on
pipelines, as grounding mats for alternating current
mitigation, and in other corrosion protection applications.
During installation procedures of Plattline™ zinc
ribbon anodes in the above applications, it is necessary
to connect Plattline™ to itself and to other main
cables for full electrical interconnection of current
flow. Connection procedures using copper compression
connectors (crimps) are illustrated in this brochure
for easy reference. Hopefully, this guide will prove
to be helpful to management and field personnel involved
with the application and installation of Plattline™
zinc ribbon anodes.
Plattline™ zinc ribbon anodes are manufactured
with a steel wire core for electrical path continuity
and for strength and handling of the product. This steel
wire core is firmly bonded to the product.
To expose the steel wire core, melt the zinc off using
a suitable torch which is capable of providing over
1000 F. (Reasonable care should be exercised to insure
safe operation when melting any metal.) The steel wire
core can be exposed using this procedure at the ends
of a length of Plattline™ or in the middle of
a run of Plattline™.
The exposed core is readily connected to itself as shown
in Figure I and to another cable as shown in Figure
2. Procedures for each connection are given with the
Figure.
Plattline™ zinc ribbon anodes come in four sizes
as shown in Table 1. Each size of Plattline™ can
be connected in the same fashion.
CONNECTION
PROCEDURE:
| 1. |
Remove
I I /2"of zinc from steel wire core at ends
of Plattline to be spliced. |
| 2. |
Join
two ends of steel wire cores together. |
| 3. |
Insert
copper compression connector into installation tool. |
| 4. |
Insert
core wire ends into copper compression connector. |
| 5. |
Crimp
according to instructions with installation tool. |
| 6. |
Wrap exposed steel wire core, connector and 1 "
of Plattline (each end) with insulated splice kit
or with two half-lapped layers of rubber tape and
two half-lapped layers of plastic tape. |
