Appendix C: Grounding and RF protectionElectrostatic Discharge 129CCCCGrounding and RFC.11 Electrostatic DischargeIn addition to the RFI attenuation, mounting ferrite clamps on the antennacable will also slow the fast rate-of-rise of an electrostatic discharge currentpulse. This might be an issue during installation (antenna cable disconnected)where different electrical potentials have had the chance to build up betweenthe terminal and antenna.We recommend mounting 1-5 pcs. hinged clamp cores (e.g. the RFC or SFCseries from Kitagawa) on the antenna cable near the antenna.
