System and method for providing an electrical ground connection for a circuit assembly

A system is described for providing an electrical ground connection for a circuit assembly. The system may include a housing for the circuit assembly, the housing having an electrically conductive fixation member configured for attachment to an electrically conductive element outside the housing. The system may also include an electrically conductive feature having a first end and a second end, the first end configured to cooperate with the electrically conductive fixation member inside the housing and the second end configured for attachment to the circuit assembly. Attachment of the electrically conductive fixation member to the electrically conductive element outside the housing enables an electrical ground connection for the circuit assembly via the electrically conductive feature.

GROUNDING ASSEMBLIES FOR AN ELEVATOR ASSEMBLY

Embodiments herein are directed to an electrical assembly for grounding an elevator assembly, the elevator assembly having an elevator cab, a grounded elevator frame, a sheave, and a suspension member having conductive members and a sleeve enclosing the conductive members. The suspension member extends around the sheave to support the elevator cab. The electrical assembly includes a bracket and a grounding member. The grounding member is electrically coupled to the sheave such that contact with the sheave forms an electrical ground path between the sheave through the grounding member and the bracket, and into the grounded elevator frame. When the sheave rotates the suspension member, any portion of the conductive members from the suspension member making contact with the sheave grounds the sheave to the grounded elevator frame via the electrical ground path.

METER BOX GROUND CLAMP CONFIGURED TO PREVENT THE CLAMP FROM MOVING OFF THE METER BOX IN RESPONSE TO A TIGHTENING TORQUE
20230216223 · 2023-07-06 · ·

A meter box ground clamp may include a body portion having a first portion, a second portion, and a gripping portion that is configured to extend from the second portion and a fastener member configured to couple the body portion to an electrical meter box. The fastening member may be configured to extend through a receiving portion of the first portion to engage a first surface of the meter box so as to move the first portion away from the first surface of the meter box and move the gripping portion into engagement with a second surface of the meter box that faces away from the first surface of the meter box, and the receiving portion may be configured to receive the fastener member at a first angle less than 90 degrees relative to a plane of the first portion such that a free end of the fastener member forms a second angle greater than zero degrees relative to the second surface of the meter box. The second angle may be configured to create a force that urges the second portion of the body portion toward the meter box in response to a tightening torque applied to the fastener member so as to prevent the body portion from moving off the meter box in response to the tightening torque.
