Abstract
An isolation ground assembly includes a ground stud having a nut segment breakably connected to a stud segment. The ground stud has a longitudinal bore and at least first and second longitudinally spaced threaded transverse bores which intersect the longitudinal bore. Similarly, a ground connector has a longitudinal bore and at least first and second longitudinally spaced threaded transverse bores which intersect the longitudinal bore. A ground wire has a first end portion which extends into the longitudinal bore of the ground stud, via the nut segment, to a point intermediate the two transverse bores and a second end portion which extends into the longitudinal bore of the ground connector to a point intermediate the two transverse bores. Set screws disposed in the first transverse bores of the ground stud and the ground connector engage the ground wire. The ground post of an endplate is threaded into the longitudinal bore of the ground stud and engaged by a set screw disposed in the second transverse bore and the ground lead of a cable is received within the longitudinal bore of the ground connector and engaged by a set screw disposed in the second transverse bore to provide a ground path therebetween.
