1. A clamp for providing electrical communication between a first conductor and a second conductor, the clamp comprising:
a main housing portion including a first surface, a second surface, a body, and an insert, the insert providing electrical communication between the first surface and the second surface;
a clamp member including a first clamp surface adjacent the second surface of the main housing portion in a facing relationship; and
a fastener movably coupled to the main housing portion, the fastener adjacent to the first surface of the main housing portion,
wherein the body has a resistivity that is different than the resistivity of the insert.
