CADWELD CAST GROUND PLATES
CADWELD CAST GROUND PLATES
CADWELD ground plates used in concrete
structures offer convenient ground system
connection points. These ground points are
used for equipment, machinery and structure
grounding after completion of the concrete
work.
The castings are made from a copper alloy.
CADWELD ground plate connections result in
current carrying capacity equal to that of the
conductor or stud and cannot loosen or
corrode.

CAUTION:
Use only CADWELD cast ground plates. Other similar plates may be available which do
not meet the strength requirements necessary. They may crack or break during installation.
Use a CADWELD Type TA or Type SS mold when connecting the CADWELD
cast ground plate to the ground conductor. The cast ground plate stud size
noted above fits the mold opening for a cable of the same size.
Example: Tee connection of 250 cable to B164-2Q
(4/0 stud size), use mold TAC-2V2Q.
Splice connection of 250 cable to B164-2Q,
use mold SSC-2Q2V.
