Where should a lightning arrester be installed in a coaxial feed line?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. On a grounded panel near where feed lines enter the building
A lightning arrester belongs on a grounded panel near where feed lines enter the building. This sends lightning energy to ground before it gets inside the house. Putting it at the radio would let the surge come indoors first.
Tip: Stop lightning at the door, not at the radio.
