Nec 250.60 apply

[codequestion]

I have celluar tower site and the site has cell metal monpole tower with dc antennas up at the top. The antennas are fed by rectifier which are then fed by AC panel with incoming electric utility.

My question is the dc antenna has bonding conductor which is bonded to metal tower and the tower is bonded to ground ring.

The same ground ring is now used for incoming AC service disconnect system ground which fed rectifier , ac, lights for the tower.

I am being told that the dc antennas are bonded to tower which is bonded to ground ring for lightning protection.

Does the tower bonding to the ground ring violate NEC 2014 Article 250.60?

No. What is it that you see in 250.60 that makes you think it does?

Is not the antenna used as strike termination device? I mean they said antenna is bonded for lightning protection.

If not then what section on NEC 2014 would allow me to do what was said in poster #1?
