Earthing Clamp

An earthing clamp, also known as a ground clamp, is a device that is used to establish an electrical connection between the workpiece and the earth. It is an essential safety tool used in welding and other electrical applications, as it helps to ensure that any stray current is safely directed to the ground, preventing electrical shock or damage to equipment.

An earthing clamp typically consists of a metal clamp with a handle or lever and a cable that is connected to the grounding system. The clamp is attached to the workpiece, and the cable is connected to the earth, establishing an electrical connection between the workpiece and the earth.

There are different types of earthing clamps, such as the standard earthing clamp, which is used to ground a single workpiece, and the multiple earthing clamp, which is used to ground multiple workpieces at once.

It's important to use the appropriate earthing clamp for the specific application and to make sure that the clamp is properly attached to the workpiece and that the grounding system is functioning correctly. This will help to ensure the safety of the welder and the equipment.
