The company says the GroundTabs are easily welded to steel with two options available, one with 1/2-in. stud holes NEMA spaced; the other with 3/8-in. stud holes with 1-in. spacing. The tabs are made of 1/4-in. thick A36 steel and can be used to attach one or two hole terminals.

Common applications include large generators, mobile construction site modules, housing structures or any metal structure that requires a permanent or temporary ground.
