"I would like to use this ground rod to ground my Butternut H9V vertical antenna." USA National Electrical Code requires all site ground connections be connected together. Lacking such interconnections, high transient voltages of vastly differing magnitudes might momentarily appear at different ground rods and at circuit points connected to them. This could lead to injury or damage. It`s a good idea to provide an antenna ground rod, or rods, directly beneath the the antenna, and to provide a short stout electrical connection between the antenna ground system and the electrical service entry grounding system. The interconnection intends to keep the potential between grounding systems low. Additional lightning protection will often be needed. Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
