FIGURE 4-37 GUY ANCHOR GALVANIC CORROSION EXAMPLE • All guy wires at a guy anchor point shall bond to the ground rod (ANSI T1.313-2003, section 10.3.1, and ANSI/TIA/EIA-222-F-R2003) using a grounding conductor of 35 mm2 csa (#2 AWG) or coarser, bare, solid, tinned copper conductor. Do not use un-tinned wire. • The grounding conductor shall be connected to each guy wire using stainless steel or other approved clamps. Each connection shall be coated with a listed conductive anti-oxidant compound. 4-56 68P81089E50-B 9/1/05
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR COMMUNICATION SITES MINIMUM SITE GROUNDING (EARTHING) REQUIREMENTS CAUTION Do not attempt to exothermically weld to tower guy wires. • The grounding conductor shall be connected to the guy wires above the turnbuckles (see Figure 4-38). • The grounding conductor shall maintain a continuous vertical drop from the guy wire attachment point to the grounding electrode.
