13. Outdoor Cable Grounding - Use only grounded outdoor
cables to protect against voltage surges and static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-
1984, provides information on proper grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors
and the requirements of grounding electrodes.
