Chapter 25.1, Problem 10R
It is generally understood that grounding and bonding together all metal parts of an electrical system and the metal shield of the cable television cable to the same grounding reference point in a residence will keep both systems at the same voltage level should a surge, such as lightning, occur. Therefore, if the incoming cable that has been installed by the CATV cable company installer has the metal shield grounded to a driven ground rod, does this installation conform to the NEC? ___________
