[TowerTalk] Best way to attach radial to radial plate (score: 1): Author: Dan Bookwalter <n8dcj@yahoo.com>; Date: Sat, 2 Jul 2011 08:29:21 -0700 (PDT); I have a DXEngineering radial plate , they suggest using ring terminals , it seems to me that if you solder them , if , you taker a lightning strike the solder would all be vaporized ?

I would also apply some Penetrox between the ring terminal and the SS hardware. I imagine that if a lightning strike occurred that the radial wires are mo; /archives//html/Towertalk/2011-07/msg00010.html (8,986 bytes)

(You can wrap the wire on the bolts, but over time they will get loose and will oxidize and resistance goes up.)

Lightning IS mainly RF and a good radial field is one of the better ways of dealing with it. Generally speaking, a good RF ground is a good lightning ground.

Lightning has high currents, but it's short duration. A single AWG 10 would probably not melt with lightning, so a bunch of AWG20 or 24 certainly isn't (AWG10 =; /archives//html/Towertalk/2011-07/msg00023.html (10,371 bytes)

You need a good electrical ground at the base of the vertical and that's not the radial system. Nor is a single ground rod sufficient.
