Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 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 grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes, and require-
ments for the grounding electrode. See
Figure 1.
