A cable rack clamp includes a clamping member, a base member, a retainer, and first and second bolts. The clamping member includes a longitudinally extending, U-shaped female mounting segment having a front wall and oppositely disposed side walls. A clamping segment extends laterally from the side walls at an end portion of the female mounting segment, forming an opening. The base member includes a longitudinally extending rack engagement portion having upper and lower segments. The lower segment extends laterally forward of the front surface of the upper segment to a longitudinally extending male mounting segment. The male mounting segment is dimensioned to be slidably received in the opening of the clamping member. The retainer may be inserted through the opening of the cable rack. The first bolt mounts the retainer to the base member and may be torqued to exert a clamping force between the retainer and the base member, whereby the retainer and the base member engage opposed sides of the rack to clamp the base member thereto.

An isolation ground assembly includes a ground stud having a nut segment breakably connected to a stud segment. The ground stud has a longitudinal bore and at least first and second longitudinally spaced threaded transverse bores which intersect the longitudinal bore. Similarly, a ground connector has a longitudinal bore and at least first and second longitudinally spaced threaded transverse bores which intersect the longitudinal bore. A ground wire has a first end portion which extends into the longitudinal bore of the ground stud, via the nut segment, to a point intermediate the two transverse bores and a second end portion which extends into the longitudinal bore of the ground connector to a point intermediate the two transverse bores. Set screws disposed in the first transverse bores of the ground stud and the ground connector engage the ground wire. The ground post of an endplate is threaded into the longitudinal bore of the ground stud and engaged by a set screw disposed in the second transverse bore and the ground lead of a cable is received within the longitudinal bore of the ground connector and engaged by a set screw disposed in the second transverse bore to provide a ground path therebetween.

A customer-ready universal ground clamp is provided for accommodating either grounding electrodes or ground wires of various sizes or diameters. The clamp includes a strap sub-assembly designed to provide full surface inter-engagement with the electrode as well as effective edge contact therewith. It also includes a single bolt sub-assembly having a contoured fixed platen that assures intimate engagement between the strap sub-assembly and the grounding electrode while at the same time avoiding any marring or gouging of the soft copper strap. The new and improved clamp can be installed without the need for special tools.

A cable clamp bracket assembly includes a bracket having a base which is mountable to a fixed structure such as the surface of an enclosure and two clamp mounting clips. Each clamp is a compressively self-locking cable clamp having an interior surface for gripping a cable and a portion of the clip. Teeth project upwardly from a conformal bracket seat and engage the cable jacket to provide additional pull-out strength.

A ground connector assembly for a service cable employs a protective clip which is inserted between the inner sheath and the shield of a service cable. A machine screw is inserted between the clip and the shield to secure the clip in force-fit relationship. A terminal plate integrally extends from the clip and includes an aperture for connecting the assembly with a ground point.

A ground clamp for clamping to a cable shield to provide a ground connection employs a U-shaped yoke. A keeper has a driver which threadably engages thread surfaces at the interior side of the yoke legs. The keeper has a clamp jaw which may be compressively engaged against a cable shield received in an aperture defined by the yoke. A surface of the clamp jaw and a surface of the driver have complementary radially extending projections and grooves, respectively. The projections are received by the grooves when the clamp jaw engages the cable shield to resist relative movement between the driver and the clamp jaw. The yoke then connects to a common ground point via a flexible ground wire connection. A protective shoe may be inserted between the cable conductors and the clamp jaw to prevent crushing of the connectors.

An electrical connector adapted for connecting a ground wire to a service wire employs a clamp arm having a bifurcated head which clamps the ground wire. A nut mounted to a threaded shaft of the arm is tightened to force a sleeve to engage exterior surfaces of the arm to clamp the ground wire. A pair of service wires may be secured by a bow tie type connector band disposed between the sleeve and the lock nut.

A ground rod clamp for clamping a ground rod and at least one ground wire employs a clamp body and a bolt. A transverse orifice in a first portion of the clamp body receives the ground rod and ground wire. A threaded portion of the bolt is received by a threaded axial bore in a second portion of the clamp body. The distal end of the bolt engages the ground rod and ground wires. Torquing the bolt head clamps the ground rod and ground wires within the clamp body.

A wire connector for ground wires employs a pair of jaw members adapted for clamping to an I-beam. A head assembly includes a threaded shaft for securing the jaw members in clamped relationship. A bifurcated slot extends through the head assembly. The slot is selectively dimensioned to receive a ground wire which is secured in fixed position by a set screw.
