Outdoor
Antenna Grounding -
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. Article 810
ofthe
National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information
with
regard
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.
