n: a means of preventing the destructive electrochemical process of corrosion of a metal object by using it as the cathode of a cell with a sacrificial anode. Current at least equal to that caused by the corrosive action is directed toward the object, offsetting its electrical potential.

impressed current that offsets the current produced in a corrosion cell and reduces corrosion.

a highly conductive cement and coke based material used an impressed current anode.

a corrosion control mechanism in which a small charge is used to oppose the electrical current generated by a corrosion cell. The current reduces metal loss at the anode.
