Energy transmission lines, metal pipelines, and rail systems share the same routes due to environmental and economic factors. The electromagnetic interactions occurring along these routes can lead to significant technical problems and some safety concerns. Since these effects can cause partial discharge and corrosion in metal pipelines, solutions are being developed to analyze and mitigate such impacts. In this study, the effects of electromagnetic interference on the Baku-TbilisiCeyhan Oil Pipeline (the standard nominal pipe size 42") are analyzed under both steady-state and fault conditions. In steadystate analyses, when the cathodic protection system is in operation, the current density is reduced by 73.75% and the touch voltage by 74.2%. In fault conditions, it is observed that the step and touch voltages did not exceed the limits specified by international standards. The results highlight the significant impact of cathodic protection systems on safety and system reliability.
