EARTH GROUND ROD

Proper grounding gives an electrical
charge, such as from an electrical static
discharge or a near lightning strike, a
path from which to dissipate its energy
safely into the earth. Without this path,
the intense energy generated by
lightning could be directed towards the
gate operator. Although nothing can
absorb the tremendous power of a direct
lightning strike, proper grounding can
protect the gate operator in most cases.
