  • Grounding Connector
    Publication number: 20230387612
    Abstract: A grounding connector can include a connector body and a shear bolt. The connector body can have a recess sized to receive one or more conductors and a threaded portion. The shear bolt can be sized to engage the threaded portion of the connector body to secure the one or more conductors within the recess. When the shear bolt is tightened into the threaded portion of the connector body, the shear bolt can retain the one or more conductors within the recess. When the shear bolt is subject to a shear torque, a head of the shear bolt can shear from a body of the shear bolt. The shear torque can correspond to a target compression force applied between the shear bolt and the one or more conductors.

  • Lightning protection system and method
    Patent number: 11251595
    Abstract: An equipotential bonding system can be provided for a lightning protection system that includes a mast assembly with an internal passageway that includes an internal surface, and a conductor that extends through the internal passageway. The equipotential bonding system can include a deflection member that is disposed at least partly within the internal passageway. The deflection member can be configured to urge the conductor into contact with the internal surface to form a conductive pathway between the mast assembly and the conductor.
