Tubular Anode Cable Selection:
PVDF, HMWPE, HALAR, XLPE, PVC or KYNAR are all optional,
UTron recommends dual-insulated cable, such as PVDF/HMWPE cable for use where anodes operate in grounded high in chlorides - resulting in chlorines gas generation. Where chlorides are not anticipated, such as shallow vertical and horizontal surface beds, an economical cable choice is HMWPE.  The high current capacity (150 amps) and flexibility of the Exane Rig cable makes it ideal for seawater applications.

Features:
High current output and low electrical resistance;
Using tubular anodes can save 15-35% of install cost comparing to use other anodes;
Anode-cable assemblies are easy to handle, transport and install because of their unique flexibility;
Tubular anode cable is easy to handle, transport and install because of flexibility;
Lower cost per amp;
Guaranteed electrical contract and moisture seal integrity;
Consistently low resistance anode;

MMO Tubular Anode Applications:
Ground beds: (Deep, Shallow or open hole);
Sea Water;
Brackish Water;
Fresh Water;
Working Environment: Including soil, carbonaceous backfill, fresh water, brackish water, and seawater.
 
Ordering Information:
When ordering tubular anodes from UTron, please specify the following:
• Anode Type (for example, length, diameter…).
• Number of anodes per string.
• Center-to-center spacing between anodes along the cable.
• Cable tail length (above the top anode).
• Total cable length (sum of lengths of anodes, spaces and tail).
• Current output.
• Number of centralizers required and hole size.
