Abstract
An elongated anode, comprising an electrically conductive ceramic material coated on a valve metal substrate, is secured in a correspondingly elongated groove which extends longitudinally in a shield of electrically non-conductive material. The shield has a convex outer surface when viewed in a plane perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. The shield can be a longitudinal segment of a cylindrical thermoplastic pipe containing spirally wound reinforcing filaments. The interior space of the annular segment can be filled with a resilient material to provide a cushion.
