What is a good grounding electrode resistance for a communication tower?

According to the IEEE Std 142-1991 and IEEE Std 142-2007 (The Green Book), the communication tower grounding electrode resistance of large electrical substations should be 1 Ohm resistance or less. For commercial and industrial substations including cell site and telecommunications sites the recommended resistance to ground is 5 Ohms or less.

How do you test a telecommunications grounding system?

Install telecommunications grounding system so resistance to grounding electrode system measures 5 ohms or less. Measure grounding electrode system resistance using an earth test meter, clamp-on ground tester, or computer-based ground meter as defined in IEEE 81.
