Impacts of GIC on the New Zealand Gas Pipeline Network by M. Ingham, T. Divett, C. J. Rodger, M. Sigley

“…We focus on variations during geomagnetic storms in three aspects of the CP system: (a) the output voltage of the constant current rectifiers, (b) the potential between the pipe and a Cu/CuSO4 reference cell, and (c) the potential between an installed metal coupon and the reference cell. The industry standard for suitable CP is that the latter potential should lie between −0.85 and −1.2 V when the rectifier is momentarily turned off. …”
