Before you connect the ground lead to the lightning surge arrestor, attach
it to an approved ground.
The recommended wire gauge is 6 AWG. Connect the ground lead to the
building ground. Do not connect to a ground rod or series of ground
rods. If you cannot connect the ground lead to the building ground,
connect it to the steel frame of the building. (The connection should be
no more than 6 to 10 ft.)
