Abstract
A C-type electrical grounding clamp is provided for high voltage distribution lines wherein structure on the main body of the clamp presents at least a pair of separate, cooperable ground cable receiving elements oriented with the longitudinal axes of the cable passages in perpendicular relationship relative to one another. The user may thereby employ a plurality of the clamps all of identical construction for either phase-over-phase or phase-by-phase grounding in a manner wherein in each instance the grounding cables between adjacent conductors are all essentially parallel and of minimum length to span the distance therebetween for maximum resistance to fault current induced grounding cable whipping, and minimum imposition of non-fault stresses thereon. The clamps are especially adapted for supporting dual grounding cables between each pair of proximal conductors.
