I'd avoid it. The conductivity of steel (stainless?) guy wire is much
lower than copper, maybe 40 times lower, so your 3/16th EHS is maybe something like 20 gauge copper equivalent. Dan Ralph Mowery wrote: I don't recall seeing it anywhere, but is there any problem with using some left over guy wire (3/16 EHS) to go from the tower to a ground rod at the base of a tower. Planning on going to about 60 feet with Rohn 25 and will probably use a ground rod at the tower and maybe one at each of the guy points. Just seems to me that if the correct clamps are used the wires and tower would be the same material and not have a galvonic reaction. |
