Rod To Cable Clamp (U Bolt)

Rod To Cable Clamp (U Bolt)

A rod to cable clamp, also known as a U bolt clamp, is a component used in lightning protection and grounding systems. It is designed to securely connect a lightning rod or grounding rod to the conductor cables that are used to redirect the electrical current from a lightning strike or to establish an effective grounding system.

Product Details

In a lightning protection system, the rod to cable clamp serves as a connection point between the lightning rod and the conductor cables. It typically consists of a U-shaped bolt with threaded ends and accompanying nuts. The U bolt is placed around the rod, and the conductor cables are placed in the space between the U-shaped arms. The nuts are then tightened to secure the cables in place, creating a reliable electrical connection. The primary function of the rod to cable clamp is to ensure a low-impedance connection between the lightning rod or grounding rod and the conductor cables. This helps to minimize the resistance and impedance of the grounding system, allowing for effective dissipation of electrical energy from a lightning strike or other electrical surges.
