Abstract:
     The dual bed cathodic protection system with automatic controls includes 1) a solar power supply to receive sun power from a solar panel; 2) a ground bed assembly which may either be a deep well or surface type; 3) a system automatic control assembly operable to control selected use of either an impressed or sacrificial protection anode assembly; and 4) aprotected structure buried within the ground to receive an electrical current to prevent corrosion thereto. The system automatic control assembly includes an electrical control circuit. The invention includes a second embodiment having a dual bed and multiple protected structure cathodic protection system with automatic controls and method of use which is operable on utilizing one or more of the sacrificial cathode anode assemblies to protect one or more individual structures such as pipe lines, bridges, or the like.
