Abstract
A grounding clamp () is provided for use with an overhead electrical conductor () and is operated by a user via a shotgun stick or other elongate stick or pole. The grounding damp () includes a pair of damp jaws () that, in one embodiment (), are biased towards a closed position by at least one spring () and that are driven between open and closed positions via a cam mechanism () in response to the user applying a torque force to the clamp () with the shotgun stick or other elongate stick or pole. In another embodiment, a ground clamp () includes a tightening mechanism () configured to tighten a pair of jaws (), and a ratchet mechanism () configured to allow the tightening mechanism () to be translated relative to the jaw () to any of a plurality of predetermined, linearly spaced, fixed positions to adjust the spacing between the jaws ().
