Question on the optimal routing of strap to realize a single point ground.
My shack antenna entrance panel and the mains AC power meter box are along one
wall – separated by about 20’. There is a ground system under the antenna
entrance panel – with the usual set of polyphasers for the coax and MOV for the
control lines.
The breaker boxes are on the inside of the same wall, a couple of feet below
the power meter mains inlet.
The shack is centered along the same inside wall; about 5’ from the breaker box
on the left, and about 15’ or so to the antenna entrance panel. On the shack
table is a bus-bar where the gear is individually connected to in a
star-configuration; one braid-type jumper from the bus bar to each shack rig or
accessory.
What’s the best way to effect a single point ground in this combination?
I think that a single strap run from the bus-bar to the antenna entrance box.
And another run from the bus-bar to the breaker box. Both of those runs would
be inside the house and along the shack wall. However, I also see that it’s
desirable to bond the meter to the antenna entrance panel outside of the house.
Or should I do both? Or something else?
Thanks.
