Earthing and Bonding for Telecommunications Sites and Towers
About this course

Overview

A telecoms site puts sensitive electronics under a tall steel structure in an open field, which is a difficult starting point. This deals with earthing and bonding designed for that exposure: what the codes require, what survives repeated strikes, and where field practice tends to drift from the drawing.
