Several grounding points for communication tower feeder lines

Home / Several grounding points for communication tower feeder lines

The fundamental objective of this document is to provide guidelines and practices for Ericsson site equipment grounding, with recommended methods that are essential to protect personnel, minimize component failure, and optimize performance by reducing electrical noise. #2 AWG minimum bare tinned solid copper ground wire may be used to bond air terminals to the tower. Because bonding and grounding systems within a building are intended to have one electrical potential, coordination between electrical and telecommunications bonding and grounding systems is essential during design and installation. It can enter via the feeder screens that are grounded at the top of the tower, via surge protective devices within or external to tower mounted electronics, via side flashing to exposed connection points and other electrical mechanisms.
