8 Earthing of coaxial cable and routing
• Earthing
Earthing all components is extremely important. The reasons are:
- Protection against lightning strikes;
- Evacuation of static electricity in the cables and equipment.
The coaxial cable must be connected to ground of the tower by at least two earthing kits (in line with the
coaxial cable) at two locations on the tower at the top and bottom.
