Section 810 of the National ElectricalCode, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to propergrounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire toan antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna dis-charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for thegrounding electrode.a. Use No. 10 AWG (5.3mm2) copper, No. 8 AWG (8.4mm2) aluminium, No. 17AWG (1.0mm2) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire.b. Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulatorsspaced from 4-6 feet (1.22 - 1.83 m) apart.c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in entershouse.d. Use jumper wire not smaller than No.6 AWG (13.3mm2) copper, or the equiva-lent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. see NEC Section810-21 (j).EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICALCODE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN ARTICLE 810 - RADIO AND TELEVI-SION EQUIPMENT.NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: This reminder is provided tocall the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-22 of theNational Electrical Code that provides guidelines for proper groundingand, in particular, specifies that the ground cable ground shall be con-nected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point ofcable entry as practical.NA D2CAUTIONRISK OF ELECTRICSHOCK DO NOT OPENATTENTION:RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUENE PAS OUVRIRCAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
