Abstract:
1. A method of forming a corrosion resistant electrical connection to carry current from the positive terminal of a source of DC power to an anode installed in a steel reinforced concrete structure to protect the steel in the concrete structure which method comprises pressing at least two conductors into direct contact with each other by tightening a clamping device around the conductors wherein the conductors are titanium conductors and the clamping device comprises a corrosion resistant non-metallic material and the corrosion resistant non-metallic material in the clamping device has at least one structure selected from the list consisting of: a structure that restrains the reaction to the pressure that presses the conductors together, a structure that insulates the conductors from an element within the clamping device that has a structure that restrains the reaction to the pressure that presses the conductors together.
