Grounding, Lightning Protection and Surge Protection
The traditional approach to lightning protection on towers is to have a lightning rod on the top of the tower and a dedicated down conductor comprised of bare cable or tape that is installed on the tower

Product Solutions for Transmission and Distribution SAE Towers works with a line of hardware for suspension arrangements and anchoring of the OPGW cable, as
Professional Lightning Protection Setup – Cable, Rod, Grounding
Watch a professional installation of a lightning protection system from start to finish. In this video, we demonstrate how to connect the cable to the lightning rod and ensure proper grounding for
The Six Point Plan to Achieving Telecom Facility
Bonding is the primary method of conveying the energy of a lightning strike to ground, as it is easier than isolation to achieve. But, where
Tower down conductors offer little lightning protection Lightning
This result shows how coaxial cable can perform a double duty–as a useful transmission line and as a conductor for lightning surge current. Remember, though, that the tower-mounted
DX Engineering Lightning Rod Kits
When used with proper tower grounding, a heavy rotor-bearing bypass cable and installed coaxial surge protectors, a lightning rod above your antennas may save the day.
