A cathodic inhibitor is a type of corrosion inhibitor, a chemical compound that, when added to a fluid or gas, decreases the corrosion rate of a metal or an alloy. An example of a cathodic inhibitor is zinc oxide, which retards the corrosion by inhibiting the reduction of water to hydrogen gas. As every oxidation requires a reduction to occur at the same time it slows the oxidation of the metal. As an alternative to the reduction of water to form hydrogen, oxygen or nitrate can be reduced.

How do electrons flow in cathodic protection?

In cathodic protection systems, electrons flow from a more active metal (anode) through an external circuit to the structure being protected (cathode), providing a protective current that helps prevent corrosion. This flow of electrons results in the cathodic polarization of the structure, thereby reducing the likelihood of corrosion.


KKS Power Plant Classification System for Cathodic Protection?

The KKS system is a standardized system for the classification of technical equipment in power plants. It does not specifically address cathodic protection systems. Cathodic protection systems are typically classified based on their method (e.g., impressed current or sacrificial anode) and location within the power plant.
