An assembly for use in the cathodic protection of steel reinforcement in
reinforced concrete said assembly comprises: (i) an anode
of a metal having a more negative electrode potential than steel and, in
electrical contact therewith, (ii) an elongate electrical connector eg
a wire made of a ductile metal capable of being wound around the steel
reinforcing element to be protected. The anode may be in the
form of a block cast around a portion of the length of the elongate connector
and preferably the elongate connector comprises a plurality
of wires twisted together over a portion of their length with the anode cast
around the twisted portion.
L'invention concerne un ensemble, utile dans la protection cathodique d'une armature en acier de béton et comprenant : (i) une anode en métal laquelle possède un potentiel d'électrode négatif supérieur à celui de l'acier et est placée en contact avec l'acier, (ii) un connecteur électrique de forme allongée, par exemple un fil métallique en métal ductile, pouvant être enroulé autour de l'élément d'armature en acier à protéger. L'anode peut être sous la forme d'un bloc coulé autour d'une portion de la longueur du connecteur, lequel comprend, de préférence, plusieurs fils métalliques torsadés ensemble sur une portion de leur longueur, l'anode étant coulée autour de cette portion torsadée.
