![]() ![]() These provide a great way to discharge the antennas, when static charges reach about 500 volts, the tubes flash over to ground removing any static energy built up on my antennas. My actual ground system consists of 3 10' ground rods spaced over a 75' distances and all is bonded with compression fittings, including the gas tube discharge devices on my coax lines, before coming into the shack. It is guaranteed for life and has both audio and visual warning/test lights. This unit is one of the best I have seen, and is made by a company called EClips out of Tampa Florida. I also added a "whole house" surge suppression unit, which mounts in my main panel box and it clamps at 250 volts or 125 volts per side. ![]() This low of ground should provide a great path for lightning to ground, as well as providing a super RF ground for my radios. 1/2 ohm is a super ground and the lowest he had seen in Florida. To his and my surprise, my ground system tested out at. We had a great discussion on grounds a few weeks back, and I have made some additional changes to mine, then had a professional electrician read my ground impedance.Īfter adding an additional 30+' of 4-guage copper wire buried in the ground, to bond my house ground to my antenna/shack grounds, I had a professional come and read the actual impedance of my grounds. ![]()
