Ground bushing

Wire Size: AWG (Solid) - AWG (Stranded). For Copper or Aluminum. Grounding Bushings - Rigid-IMC. Solid Alloy Steel Fully Plated with Bright “Chip Resistant” Zinc or Galvanized.

MIL-Std 8Vibration Tested and Rated for Seismic Zones. Adjustable lay-in lugs accept and position conductors for simple access during installation. The plastic liner prevents damage to the wire jacket during installation and use. When do you use a conduit bushing? When are grounding bushings required?

What is a bond bushing? You have to bond any metallic service entrance raceways. You only have to bond raceways after the service if they terminate into concentrics or eccentrics that are.

The bushings are made of heat-tolerant thermoplastic and can be used in indoor or outdoor environments. Certified Made in the USA. Insulate wires in threaded rigid or IMC conduits. Made from thermoplastic to withstand high-temperature environments.

Lay-in or feed-thru lug styles ease ground wire attachment. Electrical continuity of the conduit system is maintained across assembled joints. These specification grade insulated bushings provide a grounding lug to allow for grounding of conduit through the insulated bushing.

Its hinged design and adjustable grounding lug deliver installation flexibility on every job. Download this brochure for more information. The lug is used to connect a bonding jumper to a neutral bus bar. They help protect insulated conductors from abrasion during pulling or due to mechanical vibration, and provide a voltage gradient between the live conductors and ground at the point where conductor insulation is subjected to electrical and mechanical stress.

Most important, it can eliminate any potential safety issues. These include bonding-type locknuts, bushings , wedges, or bushings with bonding jumpers. This last method needs more discussion.

At An Affordable Price. The included grommet protects wire and cable from abrasion when being pulled. Use with medium-wall (IMC) and thick-wall (rigid) steel conduit.

Calbond PVC coated grounding bushings feature mil PVC coating provides corrosion protection from harsh environments. Includes grounding lug. Exterior PVC coating – 0. The split plastic insert is installed after the push through of conductors. Both types have set screws and ground wire terminals.

C - Commercial Applications. Nylon Locking Patch and Cone Point Secures Bushing in Place 5. In fact, you may need one on both ends, for GEC performance. Your raceway contains grounding electrode conductors.

A single ground fault can’t be cleared on an ungrounded system because there’s no low- impedance fault current path to the power source. The first ground fault simply grounds the previously ungrounded system. However, a second ground fault on a different phase in a line-to-line short circuit between the two ground faults.
