ABSTRACT:
A clamping apparatus for electrically connecting a ground wire to a grounding member includes first and second clamping members cooperating along an engagement plane to apply a clamping pressure to the grounding member therebetween. One of the first and second clamping members includes opposing first and second wall members integrally formed therewith and defining an open channel therebetween, the open channel defining a ground wire ingress opening for receiving the ground wire in a direction substantially perpendicular to the engagement plane. One of the wall members defines a threaded hole for receiving a set screw extending toward the other of the wall members, whereby the ground wire laid into the open channel through the ingress opening is secured against the other of the wall members by the set screw along a ground wire axis parallel to the grounding member axis.
