    摘要: The anode assembly for cathodic protection of offshore steel piles provides stability and protection for a sacrificial anode used in the cathodic protection of offshore steel piles, particularly in regard to the challenges presented in positioning the anode in a submerged, underwater environment. The anode assembly for cathodic protection of offshore steel piles includes a conventional sacrificial anode received within a protective housing. The housing is supported underwater by a support cable. A weight is fixed to the lower end of the support cable to anchor the lower end of the support cable on an underwater surface of a body of water when the housing and the sacrificial anode are suspended in the body of water. The upper end of the support cable is secured to an external support such that the housing and the sacrificial anode are suspended therefrom in a desired underwater position.
