With the demand on the power grid increasing daily, it’s vital to have reliable products throughout power infrastructure. In addition, updating current infrastructure is essential to handling disruptions and avoiding outages.
Using nVent ERICO’s innovative nVent ERICO Hammerlock Ground Clamp irreversible mechanical connection makes connecting the grounding conductor to the ground rod as simple as swinging a hammer. nVent ERICO Hammerlock can be installed three to five times faster than an acorn clamp. nVent ERICO Hammerlock is also suitable for Copperweld® steel conductors.
