Abstract
A grounding bracket for use in an electrical equipment pedestal is structured from stamped and formed sheet metal member having a generally U-shaped portion with two opposed ends. A pair of mounting ears extend laterally, each from an end of the U-shaped portion. A support portion extends laterally from a bight portion of the U-shaped portion and a bar extends at an angle from the support portion so as to be offset from the U-shaped portion and to lie in a plane which is substantially parallel to a plane containing the ears. By this arrangement, the bracket can be readily bolted to a universal mounting plate and provide for single-point grounding connections either to the front or rear of the bracket.
