Work with Rectifier Anodes

PCS provides two mini-grids for working with rectifier impressed anodes:

• The Rectifier Anode Information mini-grid provides anode information, such as the shunt rating or shunt resistance, for each anode in the ground bed of a rectifier. PCS uses this information to automatically calculate the anode shunt factor.

• The Rectifier Anode Inspection mini-grid includes inspection readings for each anode in the ground bed of a rectifier, such as a current or shunt reading, for each impressed anode in the ground bed.

Tracking rectifier impressed anodes in PCS allows you to monitor the capacity of the anode ground bed for a rectifier that produces current. You can track the current flow for each anode to determine which anodes have low or no current output.
