Power Lines—An ouldoa antenna should be located away from pow¬
er lines.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is connect¬
ed to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges. Section 810of the National Electrical Code. ANSl/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 conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and re¬
quirements from the grounding electrode. See Figure.
a- Use No. 10 AWG (5.3 mm') copper. No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm')aluminum.
Na 17 AWG (1.0mm')copper-ciad steel a bronze wire, of larger,
as a ground wire.
b- Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off
insulators spaced from 4—6 feet (1.22 — 133 m) apart,
c- Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-
in enters house.
d- Use jumper vdre not smaller than No. 6 AWG (133 mm') copper,
or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode
Is used.
