Section 54of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supportingstructure,grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit,size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
