How Transformer Grounding Clamps Work
Transformer grounding clamps create a low-resistance path for fault currents to flow safely into the ground. This reduces the risk of electrical shock, equipment damage, and fire caused by stray currents or lightning strikes. The clamps securely attach to the grounding conductor and the transformer, ensuring a robust and durable connection even under adverse environmental conditions.
- Step 1: The clamp is fastened to the transformer’s grounding lug or bar.
- Step 2: The grounding conductor is inserted into the clamp’s eye bolt or terminal assembly.
- Step 3: The stainless-steel hardware is tightened to ensure a secure, vibration-resistant connection.
- Step 4: Regular inspections ensure that the clamp maintains its integrity over time.
