Television Antenna Connection Protection

External Television Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna/satellite or cable system is to be connected to the LCD TV, make sure that the antenna/satellite or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements of the grounding electrode.
