Copper Clamp – Overview
A Copper Clamp is a fastening device made from copper or copper alloys, used to secure, connect, or ground electrical conductors, pipes, or metal structures.
-
Material: Pure copper or beryllium copper for high conductivity.
-
Key Uses:
-
Electrical grounding (connects conductor to earth rod or pipe)
-
Welding ground connections
-
Non-sparking clamping in hazardous environments
-
Marine and chemical plant applications due to corrosion resistance
-
-
Advantages:
-
High electrical and thermal conductivity
-
Corrosion resistance
-
Non-sparking safety
-
Copper Cross Clamp – Overview
A Copper Cross Clamp is a specialized clamp designed to connect two crossing conductors or rods—often in a “+” shape—securely together.
-
Design: Usually has a cross-shaped body or joint area allowing perpendicular connections.
-
Key Uses:
-
Bonding perpendicular earth rods in grounding grids
-
Joining round conductors in lightning protection systems
-
Ensuring strong, low-resistance mechanical and electrical connection
-
-
Advantages:
-
Precise perpendicular alignment
-
Maintains strong grip without damaging conductors
-
Copper body ensures excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance
-
Main Difference
-
Copper Clamp → General-purpose clamping for grounding, welding, or holding tasks.
-
Copper Cross Clamp → Specifically for perpendicular conductor-to-conductor or rod-to-rod connections in grounding and lightning protection systems.
