GROUND PLATE INSTEAD GROUND ROD
GROUND PLATE INSTEAD GROUND ROD
(OP)
Communication Antenna is provided to be grounded with three
ground rods ( 3.0 m long) connected by 2/0 wires. Also connection with existing grounding is provided to be made.
Contractor is preparing to intall three ground plates instead ground rods.
Question:
How to calculate grounding in that case ? Is it possible to replace ground rod by ground plate making the same grounding resistance.
Thanks!

The antenna system grounding is specified under the transmitter/receiver spec.
See NFPA 70-2002 National Electrical Code for Article 810 Radio and Television Equipment. (There is no specific Ohms value stated for the antenna grounding.)
