Protection from lightning
US National Electric Department of Energy Handbook 1996 specifies that radio and
television lead-in cables must have adequate surge protection at or near the point of entry
to the building. The code specifies that any shielded cable from a detached antenna must
have the shield directly connected to a 10 AWG wire that connects to the building ground
electrode.
The ground wire shall be terminated with UL listed lug with a diameter of 0.2 inch (5.2
mm).
The ground lug will need to be suitable for terminating on aluminum materials, such as the
use of an aluminum connector and aluminum ground conductor.
