18) If an outside antenna is connected to the television
equipment, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built up static charges. In the
U.S. Section 810-21 of the National Electrical
Code 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.
