External Television Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to protect against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information about proper electrical grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

An outdoor 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 outdoor antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them could be fatal.
