Q: What is the clamping force range?

Minimum 500 N to ensure secure contact.

Component Specifications

Definition

The clamp body is the main structural component of a grounding clamp, designed to hold the conductor and provide mechanical support. It is typically made of high-conductivity materials and features a clamping mechanism to ensure a low-resistance path to ground.

Working Principle

The clamp body applies mechanical force to secure the conductor, creating a stable electrical contact. The design ensures minimal contact resistance and withstands environmental stresses.

Materials

Copper alloy (e.g., C11000) or aluminum alloy (e.g., 6061-T6), with optional tin or silver plating for corrosion resistance.
