Exothermic welds, such as those offered by Thomas & Betts under the Blackburn® brand, have been the standard procedure to bond grounding systems for decades. For veteran installers, the exothermic method’s requirements for various molds, cleaning, maintenance, special precautions, and equipment to withstand tough weather are all just part of a day’s work. As the Baby-Boom generation retires, the electrical workforce is changing, though, and at the same time, electrical contractors are embracing less labor-intensive installation methods to improve profitability. That’s where Blackburn EZGround™ Compression Connectors come in.
