ABSTRACT:
A grounding clamp for grounding a ground wire to a grounding rod includes a strap, a segment of which is to be looped around the grounding rod and secured and connected electrically to the grounding rod by a stud having a head for passing through a selected one of a plurality of slots in the strap, spaced along the length of the strap, and a screw-threaded end for passing through a hole in a confronting portion of the looped segment of the strap for engagement by a nut which may be operated to draw the stud in a direction tending to close the looped segment, the head including an opening for receiving the ground wire outside the looped segment such that upon operating the nut to draw the stud in the direction tending to close the looped segment, the ground wire will be clamped against the strap in direct electrical contact with the strap.
