Equipment / Re: Grounding systems
« on: January 23, 2018, 2034 UTC »
Most sources I have read recommend copper strap normally .030 to .060 thick and 2 inches wide at a minimum. You can use .022 thick but only for mechanical attachment. Use the widest and heaviest copper strap you can find and afford from the station to the ground rod. Clamp it mechanically to the rod and then braise ( if you can) to the rod. If you have several pieces of strap to make up the required length to reach the station, overlap the strap at each joint and bolt the joint together with brass hardware and then braise (if you can) the joint. The wider the copper strap the harder it is to maneuver.
