Magnesium bare anode is usually made into two types with different electro-potential (relative to Cu/CuSO4 reference electrode):
1. High Potential (HP) magnesium anode (-1.70V)
2. Standard Potential (H-1) magnesium anode (-1.50V)

Magnesium anodes are used predominately onshore in relatively high resistivity soil and water.
High potential magnesium anodes have a high open circuit voltage and high driving potential than standard potential magnesium anodes. This yields more current output and achieves a greater efficiency in reaching a cathodic protection level with a lower consumption of the anodes. High potential magnesium anodes (HP alloys) are recommended to be installed in relatively high resistivity soil. Standard potential magnesium anodes (H-1 alloys) are ideal for average soil conditions where resistivity is under 20 ¦¸.m.
