WEEB grounding [RE-wrenches]

[Bill Brooks]

Kirk,

That only works if you are fastening the modules from the back side.
Top-down clips make it difficult to use star washers.

Bill.

Why not just use a star washer between module frame and rack? It would
appear to accomplish the same thing as the WEEB.I used to do this before the
Ilsco lay-in lugs became the rage.

Wrenches,

You probably have received an e-mail ad for WEEB Lugs and WEEB Splice Kits.

The following is a quote from their web page. Is this legit? Have you seen,
or used the products? Is this NEC Approved?

David

<<Grounding the entire array is even easier! Simply mount one WEEBLug for
each rail, making sure the teeth will penetrate into the aluminum rail. (The
lug itself is tin plated copper and the washer is stainless, so that
connection can be pressure only.) The lug is a lay-in type, making it easy
to attach the ground wire. Because you don't have to run ground wire to
every single module, you save time and make a much cleaner installation.
Neat! www.we-llc.com/WEEB.html.>>
