The latest posts about grounding, and finally some free time here, prompt me to ask the following question. Given lightning's desire to find the quickest way to ground, why doesn't it expend itself i

Inductance and magnetism. Lightening is not a single event, but at its simplest, it is a series of pulses alternating between going up and going down with relatively steep rise and fall time. Remembe

because lightning is not a 'small' event. when you think about lightning (and also rf related 'grounding') you have to throw away the concepts of resistors, capacitor, inductors, and anything else yo

Why must we, supposedly technical types, anthropomorphize lightning and its "behaviors?" Lightning has no mind of its own, no desires, no ability to choose a path. It is just a manifestation of physi

Hi Roger, I am concerned now with my planned ground screen around the base of my tower. I am planning a shunt feed to the tower for 160. I will have separate elevated radials, 4 of them, at 14 feet a

It's a bit more than semantics. Neutral is where negative and positive charges are equal. It matters not, if you remove electrons or add a positive charge, the area becomes positively charges in rela

what is the intended purpose of said ground screen not being connected to the tower. if you area going to shuntfeed the tower then you want the ground screen as big as you can make it and attached se

I will be using 4 elevated radials. The ground screen is not attached to the bottom of the vertical (in this case the tower) and is not part of the radials system. It is to help reduce near field los

if you are intending for it to assist reducing losses for raised radials then yes it must definitely be connected to the base of the tower, otherwise where will the current that it picks up go?? btw,

Right. And they SHOULD be bonded to the mesh in the slab. The question is, the usefulness of elevated radials on a grounded tower. To take advantage of their elevation, they must be bonded to the tow

Thanks guys, I will attach the ground screen to the bottom of the tower also. I see your plan of sloping the elevated radials up from the base until their elevated height, Jim. I will try this. I rea
