That was my question as well. USE -2 with green insulation is
available. Sorry to hear about AHJ's in Idaho being stuck over a decade
back. I thought that array grounding was UL listed and better spelled
out now in NEC 2017. What code cycle are you all on?

Dana,
Why does it have to be bare copper? Can you not use a green insulated #6?

How about an insulated loop clamp like this one:

You can get them in stainless and they have the rubber grommet so it won't
touch the rack.

Good Morning Wrenches,
I am required to keep the bare #6 copper from touching the aluminum
frame
work of a Array Technologies tracker where it is not mechanically
connected
by a pass-through ground clamp on a tracking array [dissimilar metals]
and
am looking for a lead on an insulated standoff or strap to hold the #6
bare
copper as it passes from panel to panel and rail to rail. The plans
examiner would accept pass through clamps & this is a worst case-spendy
solution to this.
I have searched the inquired at local electrical warehouse &on the
internet and to no avail under “insulated strap” & “insulated
cable
standoff”.
Has anyone else encountered his & what did you use? Where did you source
this strap?
I remember seeing something like this in the fuzzy past & cannot recall
where I saw it or what it was for.
Thanks for any suggestions.
