description A sacrificial anode assembly for cathodically protecting and/or passivating a metal section, comprising: (a) a cell, which has an anode and a cathode arranged so as to not be in electronic contact with each other but so as to be in ionic contact with each other such that current can flow between the anode and the cathode; (b) a connector attached to the anode of the cell for electrically connecting the anode to the metal section to be cathodically protected; and (c) a sacrificial anode electrically connected in series with the cathode of the cell; wherein the cell is otherwise isolated from the environment such that current can only flow into and out of the cell via the sacrificial anode and the connector. The invention also provides a method of cathodically protecting metal in which such a sacrificial anode assembly is cathodically attached to the metal via the connector of the assembly, and a reinforced concrete structure wherein some or all of the reinforcement is cathodically protected by such a method. A sacrificial anode assembly for cathodically protecting and/or passivating a metal section, includes a cell with an anode and a cathode, a connector attached to the anode of the cell for electrically connecting the anode to the metal section to be cathodically protected; and a sacrificial anode electrically connected in series with the cathode of the cell. The cell is otherwise isolated from the environment such that current can only flow into and out of the cell via the sacrificial anode and the connector. A method of cathodically protecting steel in concrete in which such the sacrificial anode assembly is connected to the steel in an initial step of passivation using a higher current and when the first step is terminated the sacrificial anode alone continues to provide protection.
