Abstract — Methodic problems of calculating the parameters of cathodic protection of the inner surface of cylindrical tanks are considered. The procedure is based on the exact calculation of the potential and current distributions for different schemes of the arrangement of anodes. The effectiveness of the procedure is illustrated by thethe example of the cathodic protection of a hot water storage tank.
