 A
well designed system uses grounding kits to provide a bond between the cable
and the tower/earth ground system. One grounding kit is recommended at tower
top, tower bottom, at 200 ft (60 m) intervals (where applicable), and at the
entrance to the equipment shelter. Andrew solid copper grounding kits have passed
United States Air Force lightning simulation tests and meet MIL-STD-188-124A.
The non-braided solid copper construction of all Andrew grounding kits eliminates
corrosion caused by moisture retention and “wicking.” A heat shrink tube protects
the cable terminal connection.
Several grounding kit options are available to meet the requirements of any
transmission line grounding application.
- Compact SureGround™ grounding kits provide the fastest, easiest installation
with the highest degree of lightning protection. Their self-sealing design
clips and locks onto the cable in less than a minute.
- SureGround grounding kits, an industry favorite, offer clip on attachment
with taped weatherproofing.
- Standard grounding kits provide the best grounding solution for elliptical
waveguide. The copper grounding strap is coiled around the cable and weatherproofed
with tape.
- Universal grounding kits can be applied to a broad range of coaxial
or elliptical transmission lines.
