Grounding rod for sacrificial appendage

摘要

Abstract A grounding rod for a sacrificial appendage of an electrical cable connector, such as a splicing connector for joining two or more electrical cables, is provided. The sacrificial appendage is comprised of a feature for enabling personnel to ensure that the connector is de-energized, and once this is confirmed, the sacrificial appendage may be removed and replaced with a ground rod to which a grounding device can be connected to ground the system. 5855596_1 (GHMatters) P98345.AU NIOUSHAA St C St r St Co (0 V r St CM CO r r r r C St r r r ~ .3 ~"W, N / 'r r N r St r St __ r o ' St I '~ -'---'N Co CO eQ # ~ V> 0 CO r ' CO CO (0 N St t-I t ""*.r- I -$47N 't,4 ' N- ~ (tI~ i&s CO ~:D LO NI CV '~ C N I 0 Cl NV' ' CO r 0 0 r o Co 'St r r o r" I r St (NJ r r ' CM r ~' NC'N r St r CM r CM #3 r CO Co Co Co to K Co St r r
