Where should the station’s lightning protection ground system be located?
As close to the station equipment as possible
Outside the building✓Correct answer
Next to the closest power pole
Parallel to the water supply line
Explanation
The purpose of a lightning ground is to route strike current into the earth before it can enter the structure, so the ground system and the entry panel belong outside the building. Bringing the strike path indoors to the equipment would carry very large currents through the interior.
