THE TOP EARTH WIRES ABSORBS HIGH VOLTAGE CURRENT FROM THUNDER,LIGHTENING DURING RAINY SEASON AND TRANSMIT THE CURRENT THROUGH THE TOWER BODY TO THE GROUND SAFELY.FOR THAT ONE EARTH PIT OF ABOUT 15 FEET DEPTH AND SIZE 3' X 3' IS FILLED WITH CHARCOAL AND SALT (SODIUM CHLORIDE) WITH EARTH PIPE OF 2" DIAMETRE AND HEIGHT 12' IS BURRIED IN THE PIT.THE EARTH PIPE AND THE BOTTOM STUB OF THE TOWER BODY IS CONNECETED WITH A 5' LENGTH EARTH WIRE AND BOLTED TOGETHER.
