If a zinc-rich primer is used as the base coat, will it affect the number and consumption rate of sacrificial anodes, as well as the forced protection current density?

Since a zinc-rich primer coating is a coating with electrical conductivity and cathodic protection properties, when this coating is used in combination with anodic protection, does the use of zinc-rich anti-corrosion coatings result in duplication of the cathodic protection function? Will it affect the number and consumption rate of sacrificial anodes, as well as the forced protection current density?
We have used zinc-rich paint for anti-corrosion on several storage tanks; it’s the only type we’ve used
