CAUTION Electronic equipment shall not be bonded to the internal perimeter ground ring. • If used, an interior perimeter ground ring system shall meet the following installation requirements: • All communications equipment within the facility shall be bonded to the internal grounding system as described within this chapter (ANSI T1.334-2002, ANSI T1.313-2003, ANSI-J-STD-607-A-2002, FAA-STD-019d-2002, NFPA 70-2005). • The interior perimeter ground ring shall be constructed of 35 mm2 csa (#2 AWG) or coarser copper conductor. • The interior perimeter ground ring shall be located 305 mm (1 ft.) from the ceiling where practical. • The interior perimeter ground ring should be one continuous conductor bonded together with exothermic weld or irreversible compression connection. • The interior perimeter ground ring shall be supported at approximately 610 mm (2 ft.) intervals by standoff supports. • Minimum bending radius of the interior perimeter ground ring conductor shall be 305 mm (1 ft). • The interior perimeter ground ring conductor shall be bonded to the exterior ground ring with 35 mm2 csa (#2 AWG) or coarser solid tinned copper conductors. • A grounding electrode conductor shall be placed at each corner of the shelter and bonded to the interior perimeter ground ring and exterior ground ring conductors with exothermically welded connections or irreversible compression connections. • If the length of the interior perimeter ground ring conductor exceeds 15 m (50 ft.) between the corner bonds, additional grounding electrode conductors to the exterior ground ring shall be placed at approximately equal intervals between the corner bonds. • The interior perimeter ground ring conductor shall be bonded to the MGB with a 35 mm 2 csa (#2 AWG) or coarser copper conductor. 5-56 68P81089E50-B 9/1/05
