Connectors & Grounding Blackburn Grounding Systems

Overview
Blackburn EZGround Compression Connectors represent a low cost, code-approved alternative to
welded ground grid connections. EZGround Connectors can be safely installed in half the time, with fewer
components, and in all weather conditions. The range-taking capability of each EZGround series connector
translates to fewer parts needed to complete the ground grid. EZGround Compression Connectors are
installed using the T&B Method, which produces an easily inspectable die embossment on the connector
indicating that the proper tool has been used and successful crimp has been made. EZGround carries
the T&B Method mark of approval and represents the connection of choice for faster, simpler and safer
ground grid system installations.

Meets all applicable specifications


Thomas & Betts grid and ground rod connectors satisfy the requirements of NEC Article 250 for
connecting to the Grounding Electrode System. They also meet the requirements of UL Std. 467, UL
Std. 486, CSA Std. C22.2 No. 41 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 65 being acceptable as grounding and bonding
equipment suitable for direct burial. Thomas & Betts grid and ground rod connectors also satisfy the
recommended practice for the selection of grounding connector joints described in the IEEE 837 standard
for qualifying permanent connections used in substation grounding.
The connectors conform to the following IEEE Standard 837 requirements:

350 C current cycling


Freeze-thaw test
Accelerated aging nitric acid/salt spray
Mechanical, tensile and electromagnetic force (EMF) criteria
NEC and National Electrical Code are registered trademarks of the National Fire Protection Association, Inc.

Reliable installations through compression connections


The Thomas & Betts method, utilizing compression tools with matching dies, forms the connector and
conductor into a solid, homogeneous mass to provide an optimum electrical bond between connector and
conductor. The dies are designed to produce a circumferential, hex-shaped compression rather than a
simple indent. The circumferential compression creates a large area of high-pressure contact between
cable and connector which, in turn, ensures high conductivity, low resistance and high pull-out values
exceeding all industry requirements.

Before
Compression

After
Compression

This installation method results in a long-lasting, low-installed cost connection.


You can install it and forget it. Before compression, typical cable connector cross
section of cable and connector consists of about 75% metal and 25% air. After
Thomas & Betts method compression, the cross section shows 100% metal with
virtually no air spaces.

Overview
The EZGround System
Thomas & Betts offers its complete line of grid-ground
compression connectors. Our EZGround connectors are
designed for direct burial and offer a safe, efficient alternative
to exothermic welding products. Grid-ground installations do not
require explosive charges and can be installed in various climate
conditions. These range-taking products will reduce the number
of connectors and dies needed for your installation.

EZGround Bus Bar Connectors install in less than two minutes with one easy crimp! The connector attaches
directly to the bus, saving the labor-intensive process of drilling and tapping. The unique jaw interface of the
EZGround Bus Bar Connector grips the copper bus, resulting in a low-resistance, high-conductivity connection.
The EZGround Bus Bar Connector can be used in OEM applications or telecom applications cellular, PCS
and others. It provides a continuous ground to the copper bus bar, making it ideal for hut and tower applications.
The design enables installation in virtually any position, horizontal or vertical, and is suitable for inside and outside
plant use. Installation can be completed using any T&B compression tool that accepts U-shaped die sets and is rated
12-ton or higher.

Easily installed with channel locks or pliers
Made from high-strength aluminum alloy with tin plating
Offers excellent electrical and mechanical characteristics
UL 467 tested exceeds performance requirements
With the SnapTap Connector, you can achieve an electrically superior,
pressure-fit connection in seconds without expensive tooling. The connector
is also easy to disassemble, requiring only a flat-head screwdriver to release
the connected body. A one-piece design keeps parts together, minimizing
loss of components prior to assembly. Simply separate the pieces and snap
them in place for installation. An audible snap indicates that the connection
is complete and properly installed.

General Usage Instructions


Separate

No special tools required. Use ordinary parallel jaw pliers


to separate the connector into two parts. Hold one side of
connector with pliers and bend opposite side back and forth
until parts separate (see Fig. 1).
Caution: Be careful not to pinch fingers or thumb when separating parts.
Keep fingers out of bend path when bending part against plier jaws.

Installation

1. Strip the insulation from each de-energized conductor.


Be careful not to nick the conductor. Clean the conductor
ends with a wire brush or emery cloth if necessary.
2. Place each conductor into the grooves in BODY piece.
Press conductors with pliers to align and seat into grooves
(see Fig. 2).

Note: All Toolless Connectors are UL Listed. Only items with (*) are CSA listed.

3. Hold the conductors and BODY piece until it stops. Use


parallel jaw pliers and grip the SNAP and BODY pieces as
shown (see Fig. 3). Apply pressure until connector snaps
into place. Visually inspect snap to verify full insertion.
The connection is now complete (see Fig. 4).

Removal

The connector can be disassembled using a flat-head
