Final Anode Resistance = 0.459 ohms McCoy Flush anodes

7 Final Current Output

Protection level = -0.80 V wrt AgAgCl

Anode Potential = -1.05 V wrt AgAgCl
Ohms Law I = V/R

Current output per anode I = 0.54 Amps

8 Number of Anodes

To comply with the weight requirement: 130 Anodes required

To comply with the current requirement: 50 Anodes required

Therefore use: 130 Anodes
