Every wind turbine and turbine tower needs to be grounded at the tower base even though
the system may be grounded at the battery bank. Grounding the tower at its base may help
prevent shocks to persons touching the tower due to lightning or electrical faults.
Please take the time to review the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local building and
zoning regulations for complete requirements. Even in “Off Grid Systems” there are
multiple ways for tower grounding, the most common method is a copper clad steel
electrode(s) driven into the soil. Please view the following grounding diagram. Your
Coleman Wind Turbine has an ARGENTATE ground line included for this purpose.
