some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information about
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode. See the
example below.
