Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
9.
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug
has two blades and a third grounding prong. The
wide blade or the third prong are provided for your

70-1984, provides information with respect to proper
grounding for the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna

and requirements for the grounding electrode.
NOTE
To the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to
call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-44
of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding
and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall
be connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
