Troubleshooting

When a cathodic protection or AC mitigation system isn't performing as expected, a routine survey isn't enough. MATCOR technicians diagnose the root cause—whether it's a failed rectifier, a broken anode cable, third-party damage to buried wiring, or an interference source—and make basic adjustments on site during testing.
Troubleshooting CP

For problems that require more than field adjustment, our engineers deliver clear repair recommendations backed by test data, so you can move directly from diagnosis to corrective action.

Troubleshooting services include:

  • CP system failure diagnosis
  • Rectifier output testing and adjustment
  • Anode and cable fault location
  • Third-party damage identification
  • Stray current and interference source identification
  • Written findings with repair recommendations
