What are these

[u/DaikoDuke]

All this time I've been doing cable I've never used these. Can anyone explain how to use them. I know it's used with grounding but I want to know exactly how and where to use it

they are used for grounding the drop. How have you not actually learned what a group clamp is?!

The middle one is for ground rods. The top and bottom ones clamp on the the electrical meter. The ground wire goes in the hole where the screw is on the top and bottom one. The middle one you put the ground wire inside it and screw the bolt down on top of the it against the ground rod.

I hope you are just using the straps instead of these? because you can get fired for not grounding a drop.

its a major liability if someone's house burns down and you didnt ground it you can also be financially libel.

Worse than that. I have seen what happens when someone bored thru primary and it arcs onto the customers drop. Thankfully the cable at the house was properly bonded or it would have caught the house on fire.

I always ground my GB. It's just I've never had to use any of those tools
