Power Lines
- An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines, or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should
be taken to keep from touching power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
18. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NEFA 70 provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding conductress,
location of antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode (see figure).
