Antenna Grounding
When grounding the antennas, there are two different scenarios.
Case 1:
Potential of the antenna
corresponds
to that of the platform/mast/hull
Case 2:
Potential of the antenna
does not correspond
to that of the platform/mast/hull
In order to avoid galvanic corrosion, the hull of a ship is sometimes electrically decoupled from the rest of the
electronics. The hull of a ship is therefore at a very unique potential. In this case this potential must not be
connected within the antenna system.
Case 1: same potential
Case 2: different potential
An electrical connection should be established
between terminal/terminal plate, the base plate
and the antenna chassis.
An electrical connection between terminal/terminal
plate and the antenna chassis should be established.
The base plate is pulled to the potential of the hull of
the ship via the screw connections to the
podium/mast/hull. The base plate remains electrically
isolated from the rest of the antenna.
