Description

The Cathodic Protection Interference course is a 6-day course focusing on AC and DC interference. The course includes in-depth coverage of both the theoretical concepts and the practical application of identifying interference and interference mitigation techniques. Students will learn to identify the causes and effects of interference as well as conduct tests to determine if an interference condition exists and perform calculations required to predict AC interference. The course is presented in a format of lecture, discussion, hands-on, in-class experiments, case studies, and group exercises. There is a written examination at the conclusion of the course.
