Last Issue We Asked: Who has introduced the Evolution Series 10-inch Poke-Thru Device: "Offers Eight Gangs of Communication, A/V and Power Capacity"? Correct Answer: Legrand Congratulations to OUR WINNER:
CLICK HERE to see all winners. This Issue's Question: Who's STRUCTUREDGROUND™ Direct Burial Compression Grounding System offers the speed and safety of a compression connection, and exceeds the stringent requirements of the recently revised IEEE Std 837™-2014. Meeting this benchmark specification, the STRUCTUREDGROUND™ System provides "the highest performance and most reliable compression connection in the industry". Labor-Saving Bonding Connectors Peter Walsh, PE 
Many bonding or grounding connectors are specialized. Bonding and
grounding are important to safety and the final inspection, even if you
bury it. There seems to be a different required part number for every
connection. An example is bonding raised floor pedestals for a computer room. The pedestals could be square or round, which would normally require different connectors. Raceway for Panel Builders James R. Dukart 
Thomas & Betts, a member of the ABB Group, provides a full range of
wire and cable raceway for panel builders, under the brand names Ty-Duct
and Carlon. Ty-Duct wiring duct comes in solid wall, wide and narrow slot and round hole duct configurations. Product features include easy cover installation of a two-point flush cover that snaps into place, double-score lines allowing for easy in-the-field and tool-free finger breakout as well as easy sidewall section removal. Bonding to Structural Steel Peter Walsh, PE 
Electrical contractors have been more aware of structural steel bonding
requirements since recent code revisions. Bonding was formally called a
type of grounding. The requirements for separately derived systems were
significantly revised in the 2011 code and most states have since
adopted these requirements. Now the electrical inspectors are looking more closely at bonding jumpers to structural steel. The code requires listed devices when using pressure connectors for bonding. Blackburn® Grounding Systems from Thomas & Betts: Complete, Safe, Code-Compliant and Reliable Thomas & Betts 
Blackburn® connectors and accessories from Thomas & Betts (T&B)
comprise a complete product offering for the creation of safe,
code-compliant and reliable grounding systems. The Blackburn® line now
includes a series of connectors that are compliant with IEEE 837-2014,
which governs permanent connections used for substation grounding,
particularly for ground leads to the grid system, equipment and
structures.
