Overview

The ABB BG208 Insulated Grounding Bushing (SKU: BG208) is engineered by ABB Installation Products for robust grounding and bonding in industrial electrical systems. Constructed from durable zinc die-cast material, this bushing ensures long-lasting performance and superior corrosion resistance. It features a 3-inch trade size, designed to accommodate rigid and intermediate metal conduit (IMC). The BG208 is specifically designed for grounding lug wire sizes ranging from 8 AWG to 1/0 AWG, providing a secure connection point for grounding conductors. The catalog data indicates that bushings in the BG series, such as the BG208, are designed with an integral grounding lug for enhanced ground continuity and a cone-point mounting screw that securely bites into both threaded and non-threaded rigid conduits. The nylon locking patch on the mounting screw prevents loosening due to vibration. The insulator surface is rated for 150°C/302°F applications and has a 94V-0 flammability rating, offering protection against heat and fire. This design minimizes drag and prevents insulation abrasion during wire pulling. The "Blackjack" bushing design, which this product likely belongs to based on the catalog information, simplifies installation by integrating the grounding lug, eliminating the need to handle loose parts. This feature is particularly beneficial in tight spaces, corners, and for multiple conduit runs, reducing installation time and complexity compared to conventional bushings. The extended ground wire range capability of the BG series also helps reduce inventory needs. The ABB BG208 is an ideal choice for electrical contractors, maintenance professionals, and industrial facilities requiring reliable and code-compliant grounding solutions. It meets UL 514B and UL 467 standards, and CSA C22.2 No. 18 & CSA C22.2 No. 41, ensuring safety and adherence to industry specifications. Trust ABB Installation Products for dependable grounding components that enhance electrical system safety and integrity.
