Voting house
The tuning house is a building at the foot of the transmitting antenna for transmitters in the long wave or medium wave range , in which the coils and capacitors ( resonance transformer ) as well as lightning protection devices are housed to adapt the feed cable to the antenna .
To avoid interference radiation, the interior of the voting house is clad with copper or aluminum .
A (lethal) voltage of several hundred thousand volts can be present on the components in transmission mode. The strong electromagnetic fields can cause a strong heating for living beings like a diathermy device.
Usually the voting house is next to the transmitting antenna. In some transmission antennas, it forms the foundation for the self-radiating transmission mast that serves as a transmission antenna .
