surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-1984, 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 connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode. See Figure below.
20. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that
objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the
enclosure through openings.
