Brass PG Clamp

PG clamps are used to connect two or more conductors whose axes are parallel to each other.

PG Clamps are designed and installed to ensure that conductors don’t come in direct contact with each other. When conductors are connected directly without a proper connecting mechanism, there will be increased electrical resistance at the contact points, resulting in heat build-up and energy loss. Hence, to avoid such harmful electrical discharge in earthing applications, transmission and distribution lines, a PG Clamp is crucial.

A PG Clamp is made by joining two parts. These gaps are called grooves, where you insert the conductors. The grooves are parallel to each other, which is why it’s called a Parallel Groove Clamp.
