1) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions for grounding your
Skystream tower.
2) Read these instructions in their entirety before beginning.
3) Do not start installation unless all required equipment and tools are on site.
One - Introduction
Even though the wind turbine is grounded at the service panel, it must also be grounded at the
tower base. Grounding the tower at its base may prevent electrical shocks, voltage surges and
static charge build up. Proper tower grounding may also limit or minimize damage due to lightning
strikes.
This document provides recommendations for grounding small wind turbine systems with rated
line currents of less than 200A to achieve compliance with the 2005 USA National Electrical Code
(NEC) as well as IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standard 60364-5-54 Selection
and Erection of Electrical Equipment
– Earthing Arrangements, Protective Conductors and
Protective Bonding Conductors.
The grounding information contained in this document is provided as a reference. Please refer to
the aforementioned NEC and IEC standards for complete detailed information. Local building
codes and electrical standards may differ from the information presented here and have
precedence over this document.
