Abstract
An electrical ground connection having two members, one of which may be connected to a system ground and the other of which may be for a connection to an electrical apparatus to be grounded. Each member includes a circular cavity which faces the cavity of the other member when the two are assembled together. An electrically conducting insert in the form of a multi-faceted rod is provided for insertion into the cavities, and wherein the rod has a slightly greater lateral dimension than that of the cavities, so that when the members are clamped together, the rod will be shaved, thereby exposing bare metal for better electrical contact and reduced resistance.
