power lines.
20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding-Ifan outside antenna is
connected to the receivers 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 Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-
1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the leaddn 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.
