ROD TO CABLE CLAMP: Secure & Reliable Grounding Connection
Overview
The Rod to Cable Clamp is a critically engineered component designed to establish a robust, low-resistance electrical and mechanical bond between a grounding rod (or rebar) and a grounding conductor cable. Essential for any effective grounding or bonding system, this clamp ensures the safe dissipation of fault currents, lightning strikes, and static charges to earth, protecting personnel, equipment, and structures from electrical hazards.
Constructed from high-conductivity, corrosion-resistant materials, our Rod to Cable Clamps are built for enduring performance in diverse environments, from harsh industrial settings to residential installations. Their precision design facilitates easy installation while providing a secure, vibration-proof connection that maintains its integrity over time.
Key Features
High-Conductivity Material: Crafted from premium copper alloy or high-strength bronze alloy, ensuring optimal electrical conductivity and minimal resistance for efficient fault current dissipation.
Superior Corrosion Resistance: Specifically designed to withstand harsh outdoor elements, moisture, chemicals, and varying soil conditions, guaranteeing long-term reliability and performance.
Robust Mechanical Grip: Features heavy-duty clamping bolts and a specialized V-groove or parallel-jaw design to create an extremely tight and secure connection that resists loosening due to vibration, thermal expansion, or physical stress.
Wide Range of Compatibility: Available in multiple configurations to accommodate a broad spectrum of grounding rod diameters (e.g., copper-bonded, galvanized, rebar) and various cable gauges (e.g., bare copper, insulated, stranded, solid).
Easy & Efficient Installation: Designed for quick and straightforward installation with standard tools, reducing labor time and complexity while ensuring a reliable bond.
UL Listed & CSA Certified: Manufactured to meet or exceed stringent industry standards such as UL 467 for Grounding and Bonding Equipment and CSA C22.2 No. 41-18, ensuring compliance and safety.
Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide array of grounding and bonding needs in residential, commercial, industrial, telecommunications, and utility sectors.
Benefits
Enhanced System Safety: Provides a dependable path for fault currents to dissipate, significantly reducing the risk of electric shock, equipment damage, and fire.
Long-Lasting Performance: Exceptional material quality and robust construction ensure a durable, maintenance-free connection for the lifespan of your grounding system.
Optimal Grounding Effectiveness: Maintains a consistently low-resistance connection, crucial for the proper functioning of sensitive electronic equipment and the effective discharge of transient overvoltages.
Code Compliance Assurance: Meets all relevant national and international electrical codes and safety standards, simplifying inspections and ensuring peace of mind.
Cost-Effective Solution: Durable design and ease of installation contribute to lower overall project costs through reduced labor and extended product life.
