Ground Connector for Direct Burial

This Burndy grounding connector joins a single copper conductor sized between 2/0 AWG and 250 kcmil to a flat quarter-inch bar. It is built for commercial electrical installations that require a listed direct-burial connection. The mechanical design separates the cable from the bar surface during termination. UL 467 listing confirms suitability for below-grade use.

Mechanical Termination on Flat Bar

Installation uses a mechanical clamping method rather than compression tooling, so standard hand tools are sufficient for field work. The connector accepts both solid and stranded copper within the stated range, reducing the chance of a mismatch on site. A common error is inserting an undersized conductor or using aluminium wire, which the device is not rated for. Correct torque on the set screw prevents loosening under vibration.

Sustained Load in Buried Service

Under continuous fault-current conditions the copper body maintains a low-resistance path to the grounding electrode system. Direct-burial listing means the connector withstands soil moisture and temperature cycling without degradation. The flat-bar interface distributes current evenly across the contact area, limiting hot spots during prolonged events. Periodic inspection of the screw torque ensures long-term reliability.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the connector is properly installed for direct-burial grounding?

After torquing the mechanical clamp onto the 1/4 in flat bar and 2/0 AWG–250 kcmil copper conductor, verify full metal-to-metal contact and that the assembly sits flush for direct-burial use per UL 467.

What components are included and what must I supply separately?

The package contains the Burndy copper grounding connector only; you must provide the 2/0 AWG to 250 kcmil solid or stranded copper wire and the 1/4 in flat mounting bar.

Which wire-size range should I select for a 250 kcmil copper conductor?

Choose the connector rated for 2/0 AWG minimum up to 250 kcmil maximum — it covers both solid and stranded copper within that range.
