The Intersystem Bonding Termination Bar (IBTB) is a component for electrical systems that provides a central point for connecting grounding conductors from communication systems. Designed to meet NEC Article 250.94 bonding requirements, this device is mounted adjacent to the meter base or service entrance equipment to interconnect and terminate grounding conductors from telephone, CATV, radio and television antenna systems. It offers a convenient, organized termination point for buildings and structures supplied by feeder or branch circuits.
The IBTB simplifies installation by allowing grounding conductors to be connected in one continuous length where possible, keeping them properly organized and easily accessible for inspection and maintenance. The lay-in connection clamp design accommodates a range of conductor sizes, making it adaptable to various electrical system configurations.
Features and Benefits
- NEC Article 250.94 Compliant: Meets 2008 NEC requirements for bonding other systems at the service entrance.
- Lay-In Connection Clamp: Accepts 6 to 2 AWG (16 to 35 sq-mm) conductors, allowing easy installation of grounding electrode conductors in one continuous length where possible.
- Corrosion-Resistant Hardware: Includes stainless steel mounting hardware that resists rust and corrosion for long-term durability.
- Impact-Resistant Polymeric Base: UV-stabilized polymer housing meets UL requirements for weatherability performance and withstands harsh outdoor conditions.
- Easy Inspection: Convenient accessible design enables straightforward connection and inspection of all grounding conductors.
