Amateur Radio When protecting your rig use the IS-B50 series for bulkhead applications and the IS-50 for flange mounting. A rule of thumb is that the -C0 is for HF, the -C1 is for VHF, and the -C2 is for UHF frequencies respectively.
If you are looking for single point grounding products please see below in our "grounding" section.

GROUNDING
Single Point Grounding (SPG) is the most important aspect of a grounding scheme and is the key when protecting
your equipment from EMP surge and lightning damage. Our single point grounding panels offer an all-inclusive
approach to completing your single point ground installation cleanly and quickly.
PEEP
The PEEP-M is an all copper coaxial entry panel for grounding on the exterior shield, as well as, grounding lightning protectors and
establishing a single point ground reference location. Accommodates up to 3-1/8" diameter rigid line cable. Available in 3, 5, and 8 port entries.

PB
Single point grounding is the most important part of any lightning protection system and the PolyPhaser entry panels
make it easy to make a single point ground. Whether you have a thick wall, thin wall, or have multiple lines
coming in you will find a panel here that will work well with your system. The PB Series have supplemental hardware
and materials to enhance low inductance grounding installations, with high surge current capabilities.

Accessories
All of the items necessary to complete your professional single point grounding installation including shield grounding kits,
copper cleaning kits, clamps, copper straps and more.

EXAMPLES FROM THE ACCESSORIES PAGE FOR GROUNDING
YOUR RADIO STATION AND TOWER
CS112-25
25 foot long 1.5" wide copper strap
The CS112-25 is a 1-1/2 inch wide x 25 foot long copper grounding strap. Flat copper strap contributes to low
inductance grounding and allows higher surge current capacities than bare copper wire.
TK-3
Transition Clamp
Stainless steel clamps with attached shims to transition from copper to galvanized tower legs
USE A COPPER GROUND STRAP
The skin effect of radio frequency current tends to conduct along the surface of a conductor rather than through
the middle. Because of this effect copper strapping is more efficient than wire at handling high frequency currents.
This makes copper strapping a better choice in RF grounding for lightning protection. The currents during a lightning strike
are similar to high level RF currents. Copper strapping handles these currents better with lower inductance
than wire with the same amount of copper.
58R-112S
Bonding Clamp
Copper bonding clamp to convert from a 5/8" ground rod to a 1-1/2" copper strap. This clamp is easier and faster than exothermic welding
and is copper and will not corrode when burried. Can also be used on 1-1/2" to 6" copper strap.
