A reader
wrote, "I have a contract to provide theatrical sound, stage-lighting and video
services at a university.
Recently, the university allowed multiple cell phone companies to
install equipment on the roof of the theatre. The cell phone tower equipment installed by one company
includes a conduit from the roof to the stage area catwalks on the inside of
the building. The conduit is
bonded via a decent gauge wire to the exposed steel of the building. The cell phone company also installed a
heavy wire from inside the same conduit to the exposed steel of the
building. My concern is, what
happens in the event of a lightning strike or other electrical issue from their
equipment? The building's steel is
exposed throughout the catwalk area above the stage, and the steel most likely
is also connected to our double-purchase rigging system steel. Are we at risk
for a shock in this situation?
Does it matter if the heavy wire is for lightning suppression versus
just a heavy ground wire for their installation?" ...The short answer to his
question is that it should be safe to stand on the catwalk during a
thunderstorm because the cell phone tower is bonded to the building. The reason for bonding
them is to do our best to make sure all of the metal in the building structure,
the cell tower, and the electrical system remain at the same voltage potential
regardless of what might happen. Otherwise, a lightning strike or ground fault
could create a difference in potential that could be very dangerous.
