Galvanic anodes are selected because they have a more "active" voltage than the metal of the target structure (typically steel). </p><p>Concrete has a pH around 13. In this environment the steel reinforcement has a passive protective layer and remains largely stable. Galvanic systems are "constant potential" systems that aim to restore the concrete's natural protective environment by providing a high initial current to restore passivity. It then reverts to a lower sacrificial current, while harmful negative chloride ions migrate away from the steel and towards the positive anode. The anodes remain reactive through their lifetime (10–20 years typically), increasing current when the resistivity decreases due to corrosion hazards such as rainfall, temperature increases, or flooding. The reactive nature of these anodes makes them an efficient choice. </p><p>Unlike impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems, steel constant polarization is not the goal, rather the restoration of the environment. Polarization of the target structure is caused by the electron flow from the anode to the cathode, so the two metals must have a good <a href="/wiki/Electrical_conductivity" class="mw-redirect" title="Electrical conductivity">electrically conductive</a> contact.

The combination of tenting and disbondment permits a corrosive environment around the outside of the pipe to enter into the void between the exterior coating and the pipe surface. With the development of this CP shielding phenomenon, impressed current from the CP system cannot access exposed metal under the exterior coating to protect the pipe surface from the consequences of an aggressive corrosive environment. The CP shielding phenomenon induces changes in the potential gradient of the CP system across the exterior coating, which are further pronounced in areas of insufficient or sub-standard CP current emanating from the pipeline's CP system. This produces an area on the pipeline of insufficient CP defense against metal loss aggravated by an exterior corrosive environment."</dd></dl> <p>Cathodic shielding is referenced in a number of the standards listed below.
