Our cell site grounding,telecommunications grounding and communication tower grounding methods closely follow the Motorola R56 standards and IEEE Std 142-1991 and IEEE Std 142-2007 recommended Practice for Grounding of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems guidelines for cell site and telecommunications sites.
For telephone, voice, data, and other communication equipment, provide No. 6 AWG minimum green insulated grounding conductor from main building grounding electrode system to each service location, terminal cabinet, wiring closet, and central equipment location.
A. Refer to Section 27 05 00 for requirements that shall be fulfilled as part of this specification section. Telecommunications Main Grounding Bus (TMGB). Provide (1) 24-inch x 4-inch x 1⁄4-inch (600mm x 100mm x 6mm) tinned copper UL listed busbar with pre-drilled two-hole bonding lugs.
The Telecommunications Grounding system shall remain separate and shall connect to the electrical grounding system at the main building ground. Grounding Manholes and Handholes: Provide a driven ground rod through manhole or handhole floor, close to wall, and set rod depth so 4 inches will extend above finished floor.
According to the IEEE Std 142-1991 and IEEE Std 142-2007 (The Green Book), the communication tower grounding electrode resistance of large electrical substations should be 1 Ohm resistance or less. For commercial and industrial substations including cell site and telecommunications sites the recommended resistance to ground is 5 Ohms or less.
For a designer of telecommunications bonding and grounding systems, the ANSI/TIA-607-B standard is the most encompassing standard to follow for premises buildings. Although there are many other guides (see Resources at a Glance below), standards are developed so that a consensus must be reached among industry expert volunteers.
