Lightning Protection Ground Wire

A wire from the antenna mount to a grounding source described below or a surge arrester.

Lightning protection ground wire.

Grounding rods plates bars and more. While an effective air termination device and above ground lightning protection system is critical to effective protection proper grounding can keep people and products out of harm s way. Polyphaser coaxial lightning protectors are designed for general single transmitter use in the 1 5 to 700 mhz frequency range. Polyphaser protectors are available in two mounting styles.

Bulkhead mount protectors have a longer connector and hardware to mount it through the grounding panel. Flange mount protectors anchor to a grounding panel with both connectors parallel to a flat surface. The connection to ground. Lightning protection fasterners hardware.

Preventable mistakes in the electrical grounding system can leave it vulnerable to ground faults side flashes and electronic noise any of which could. These products are also backed by the foremost lightning protection design department in the world today. Harger has long been one of the leading providers of structural lightning protection for commercial buildings. An example is a quarter wave vertical.

Trusted to protect since 1910. There are a few options for how to install lightning protection. In fact some of the world s tallest structures such as the willis. We have experience in all facets of these markets including engineering systems design product manufacturing and installation.

A second copper stake driven into the earth for the signal carrying wires is a separate earth ground system. Generally if you have a metal antenna mount on your roof that is over 5 feet tall you will want to ground that using a long copper wire. Since our beginning thompson has sought to be the industry leader in manufacturing the highest quality conductors and components. This is required only for certain types of antennas ones which require current flow to ground to complete the antenna circuit.

Lightning protection through roof. Since 1960 harger has been providing solutions to the lightning protection and grounding industries. For the building s ground system the main electrical wire entry already has a copper stake driven into the earth. Using two different earth ground systems for lightning protection is as bad as having no lightning protection at all.
