Zusammenfassung:The present invention concerns a novel electrodic assembly which is particularly advantageous for measuring the potential value of cathodically protected structures. This electrodic assembly comprises a series of reference and auxiliary electrodic units (14) which are linearly distributed over the length of an electric cable (1) and coaxial to the cable itself. Each electrodic unit (14) is connected to a couple of current supply inlet and outlet wires (2, 2 min , 3, 3 min ) of the cable (1). This couple is connected at the opposite end to a potential measuring device and/or to a power supply source. The electrodic assembly of the present invention allows to measure the potential value of cathodic protection systems even when the electrodic units are under polarization.
