2 StructuredGround Direct urial Compression Grounding System Meets the most stringent industry standards while offering unmatched ease of installation and safety. hy Does This Matter? Grounding is a critical functioning part of the electrical system. The integrity of your grounding system is dependent upon your connectors withstanding the environment in which they are installed. chieving this reliability, while maximizing safety and speeding installation ensures a grounding system that will provide you with the greatest value. ith the StructuredGround Direct urial Compression Grounding System, you benefit from a connector that meets the highest performance specification in the industry, faster installation, ensured safety in any weather condition, with a minimum investment in tooling and inventory. Meets IEEE Std the Premier Test of Corrosion Resistance The IEEE Green ook, IEEE Recommended Practice for Grounding of Industrial and Commercial Power Systems (IEEE Std ), states: (i)t is recommended that [grounding] connections meet the requirements of IEEE Std 837. The purpose of the IEEE Std 837 for Qualifying Permanent Connections used in Substation Grounding standard is to give assurance to the user that a connection meeting the requirements of this standard will perform in a satisfactory manner over the lifetime of the installation. IEEE Std 837 goes beyond the testing required by U 467 and CS 22.2, requiring sequences of environmental simulations including: lightning strike, freeze-thaw cycling, and chemical corrosion, to provide better assurance that the grounding system will remain viable throughout its installed life. IEEE Std is Now an Even Tougher Test of Corrosion Resistance than IEEE Std In 2002, the acceptance criteria for the IEEE Std 837 test was revised, making it more difficult to pass. s a result, connectors that meet the 2002 revision of 837 reduce the risk associated with a given installation by providing a more robust barrier against the corrosive elements that could otherwise cause the grounding system to fail. s enhanced crimp process, using patent pending technology, achieves the new performance requirements, providing unmatched verification of corrosion resistance. See page 8. Reduces Installation Costs Can be installed in any weather from extreme cold to wet conditions the StructuredGround Direct urial Compression Grounding System will keep your construction project on time and on budget ide range-taking components can go from #6 to 250 kcmil wire with only five parts, minimizing inventory and tool investment Only a single die required to crimp each element Full inspectability die index numbers are embossed on the connector body during the crimp process allowing the inspector to quickly and easily identify a proper installation Increases Job-Site Safety No weld connections special protective equipment or extra clothing is not required Full inspectability die index numbers are embossed on the connector body during the crimp process allowing the inspector to quickly and easily identify a proper installation Hydraulic and battery operated compression connection crimping tools reduce operator stress and fatigue 2 For the most reliable direct burial grounding system, specify connectors meeting IEEE Std
