THE HYGROUND®
IRREVERSIBLE
COMPRESSION
SYSTEM
BURNDY® has developed an irreversible
compression ground system which meets E-5
the most stringent safety and performance
requirements, including those of OSHA and
nuclear power plant design. Performance
excellence and long life expectancy are the
system’s basic design guidelines. It is a com-
plete system which consists of connectors
for grid cross connections, taps, splices,
cable to ground rod, ground plates and ter-
minations.

E-41
GC-A ground clamps are UL Listed for use
with either copper or aluminum conductors
to copper water pipe, galvanized pipe or
steel conduit. All clamps are constructed
from tin plated high-strength extruded alu-
minum alloy. PENETROX™ oxide inhibiting
joint compounds are recommended for all
aluminum applications. Features and Benefits
• Clamps are dual rated for both copper
and aluminum conductors.
〫 Maximum flexibility of application.
• All connectors are tin plated.
〫 Provide low contact resistance and
prevents galvanic corrosion.
• All clamps are range taking.
〫 Only 3 catalog numbers covers com-
plete range of applications from 1/2 - 4
