AC Mitigation: 4 Approaches to Protect Your Assets

Pipelines paralleling high-voltage AC transmission lines require engineered grounding to prevent AC-induced corrosion and safety hazards. The four primary AC mitigation strategies—fault shielding, gradient control mats, lumped grounding, and gradient control wires—are detailed with design and monitoring guidance.
