Grounding

Grounding is composed of compression, mechanical and exothermic connectors and accessories represent the most comprehensive set of products in the industry for the creation of a safe, code compliant and reliable grounding system. Copper Ground Cable is extra-flexible for handling ease yet strong and tough for long wear. The jacketing is smooth, abrasion, weather and oilresistant in accordance with applicable ASTM Specifications, marked with AWG size approximately every 4 feet. Jackets are T-prene rubber compound with -20˚F recommended low temperature. Extra-flexible cables, because of their extra-fine strands, require termination ferrules when used with grounds. When it comes to grounding, the term “ground” refers to a conductive body, usually the earth. To ground a tool or electrical system means intentionally creating a low-resistance path to the earth.
