Quoting Jeff Blaine <keepwalking188@yahoo.com>:
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.
