LIGHTNING PROTECTION INFO.
Basic rules for selection are:
Type YGA ..................................D-15 1. Must be like material to the conductor.
2. Two bolts to ground rod –– minimum, for mechanical.
3. Cable to cable connections can be anything –– one bolt,
two bolt, compression, etc.
Type YGS ..................................D-16 4. Cable to steel structure must have 8 in.2 contact with steel.
5. Heavy duty stacks –– mechanical only.
6. On all connectors with heavy duty stack rating, we must
offer 1/16" thick lead plating as an option. Reason is closest
Type YGF ..................................D-17 25 ft. to stack opening must use lead coated product.

THE HYGROUND™
IRREVERSIBLE
COMPRESSION
SYSTEM
BURNDY® has developed an irreversible
compression ground system which meets the
most stringent safety and performance
requirements, including those of OSHA and
nuclear power plant design. Performance
excellence and long life expectancy are the
system’s basic design guidelines. It is a com-
plete system which consists of connectors for
grid cross connections, taps, splices, cable to D-3
ground rod, ground plates and terminations.

Our irreversible compression ground connec-

tors employ well-proven design principles
and technology that have been in existence
for over 60 years.

Connectors are just one component of our

Irreversible Compression Ground System.
Installation tooling is also an integral part of
this system. BURNDY® pioneered the com-
pression connector principle and continues
today to be the leader in compression tech-
nology. Our tooling package is the most
extensive in the industry and affords the user
many options.
