Example of Antenna Grounding as per
National Electrical Code. Instructions
Contained in Artical 810-"Radio and
Television Equipment"
A) Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) copper, No 8 AWG (8.4mm2) aluminum, No. 17
AWG (1.0mm2) copper clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as ground wire.
B) Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators
spaced from 4 feet (1.22m) to 6 feet (1.83m) apart.
C) Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters
house.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an outside antenna is con-
nected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built
up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPS no. 70-1983, provides information with respect to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode. See figure 1.
Object and Liquid Entry: Care should be taken so that objects
do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through
openings.
