Problem with secondary current distribution physics for modeling an electrolysis cell

Hello everyone! I have modeled an electrolysis cell using secondary current distribution physics. I have a porous anode and cathode and a separator (predefined not available, it's a geometry with electrolyte conductivity) in between in this model and electric potential and ground applied on cathode and anode respectively. when I run the model, I see discontinuity in the current distribution over the thickness of the cell. Current density jumps very high at the separator and opposed to what I expected for electrode and electrolyte current density (I expected electrolyte cd to decrease from current collector to separator in the cathode and opposite trend for the electrode cd), they are almost uniform. I really appreciate your help in this matter!
