Attaches ground wires to pipes or rods?

• A. Wire nuts
• B. Ground clamps
• C. Fuses
• D. Inductive Reactance

Answer: (B)

Ground clamps provide a secure, low-resistance bond between a grounding conductor and a grounding electrode such as pipes or rods. They are specifically designed to grip the metal surface and create a reliable electrical connection so the equipment grounding conductor can safely carry fault current to earth. Wire nuts are used to join insulated conductors inside a box, not to attach to pipes or rods. Fuses are protective devices that interrupt current, not hardware for bonding to electrodes. Inductive reactance describes how AC circuits impede current flow, not a method for connecting ground wires. When choosing a ground clamp, ensure it’s appropriate for the pipe or rod material and conductor size, and rated for grounding use.
