Detailed information about this program
The Cathodic Protection Interference course focuses on AC, DC, and telluric interference. The course provides in-depth coverage of both concepts and practical application of identifying interference and interference mitigation techniques. Students will learn to identify the causes and effects of interference, conduct tests to determine if an interference condition exists, perform calculations required to predict AC interference. Classroom instruction is comprised of lecture and discussion, in-class experiments, case studies, and group exercises. Prerequisite No prior training or experience is required. Recommended: CP Technologist Certification or equivalent training; Basic Corrosion Course; 3 years' exposure to CP field or design level work experience; Thorough understanding of unit conversions, scientific notation, advanced algebra, DC circuits with previous exposure to basic AC circuits, complex numbers, interference testing.
