Telecommunications Grounding - FOR THE TELEPHONE, TELEVISION AND RADIO INDUSTRIES
Telecommunications Grounding is a training course that will define and completely explain grounding and bonding for telecommunications systems.
It will provide information for the installation of a grounding and bonding system for telecommunications infrastructure. The course will include requirements for providing a permanent grounding and bonding infrastructure for telecommunications circuits, raceways, and cable tray.
This course will provide the participants with a good understanding of the principles of lightning protection and grounding of telecommunications grounding facilities, such as self-supporting radio towers, guyed masts, monopoles and rooftop antenna mounting frames and structures and how techniques are applied in the field to protect these structures and staff and the general public.
This Telecommunications Grounding training course will explain grounding and bonding requirements in the CSA C22.1-06, the NEC and TIA/EIA/ANSI Standards.
SPECIAL NOTE ON WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Telecommunications Grounding - This advanced course is designed for those who are required to design, plan, install, maintain and supervise contractors who are providing grounding and lightning protection systems for telecommunications Sites, such as: Electrical Engineers, Project Engineers, Design Engineers, site Engineers or those who are responsible for the engineering, design, construction, installation, inspection, operation, or maintenance of electrical grounding systems in telecommunications facilties.
