[QUOTE="spiney, post: 157175, member: 192438"] Agree with everything Rolf says above about earthing, but would just like to add .... 1) The DTG website specifies 6mm sq bonding cable as ok. This is half mains earthing wire diameter, so misleadingly suggests theyr'e saying earthing via equipotential bonding is ok! While not exactly illegal, it's most certainly not a recommended method. 2) Bonding bars with double female sockets make it a lot easier. Only disadvantage is if the client disconnects a particular end-cable, although that doesn't affect the rest of the system earthing. 3) there's also specifications for the actual coax cable, in that it must be able to carry 30A for at least 8 sec before melting! In practise, most sat tv cable would comply (i think they tested how CT100 actually behaves, then made that "the standard"!). [/QUOTE]
