What is the thinking on grounding the tower ground to the ground coming into the house at the power, 220 service entrance? Tie them together or not? Ed

Ideal grounding theory now advocates putting ring heavy conductor all around the house. Attach to this the power ground at meter, (in addition to its rod), telephone ground wire, and its rod; rig ent

I keep tower and power grounds separated except when connected with coax cables. I disconnect all coax cables (using a patch panel of C coax connectors for rapid operations) when gone or lightning ap

I dislike guy wire insulators and like to use the guy wires to spread out the tower grounding too. With my tower grounds separated from the house grounds I suffer no damage from direct hits on the to

Yes, for two reasons: 1) It prevents a ground differential from destroying equipment at either end 2) It is in the NEC. Only two weeks ago a friend of my brother lost $2000 in data comm gear at a tow

For pure electrical ground, I agree with Jerry 100%. Keep your tower grounded separately from your ham shack and equipment. Jerry Harley another electrical engineer

By all means, all grounds should be connected together to prevent a difference in potential due to a nearby lightning strike. Failure to do this is the same thing that kills cows under a tree during

Dear Ed and Janet, Do not EVER tie them together! When lightning strikes your tower, and it WILL, you will have upwards of 100000 volts destroying every electrical device in your home from the ground

The theory of lightning protection by ground is that IF (and that is a super big IF) all the grounds are short and low inductance and good grounds that all the equipment and wiring will rise together

All - This grounding stuff really energizes people (no pun, groan). I have read many, many write-ups on this, and the best I have seen are those offered by Polyphaser and Alpha-Delta. Both of these r

I regret to write openly on the reflector about the following post but due to the error in the statement, I feel compelled to do so. The opening statement is absolutely wrong!! It is very dangerous t

The NEC is for home and industry electrical safety. We are talking about how to best protect against lightning damage, since we have this big lightning arrestor in our yard. The best way to do this i

However Bob, having been shunted to ground by good tower grounding the jump voltage is far smaller than that required to jump a few thousand feet. But its far more than equipment can stand on its own

I'm going to add one more comment to the discussion, and then I'm not going to post any more on it, due to the sensitive nature of the topic. I don't think that I can build ANYTHING reasonable that w

Well, down here in the monsoon belt where we typically get more than 100 thunderstorm days a year, we seem to prefer separate ground systems for the tower and the shack. BUT.... Most of us who would

Well, it *is* an important topic... Actually that's a common myth. You can make something "lightning proof" for most *direct* strikes, but it is extraordinarily tedius. Think commercial broadcast sta
