1. A clamp for supporting an electrical conductor on a structure and providing electrical continuity between the electrical conductor and the structure, the clamp comprising:
a mounting member;
a strap coupled on one end to a first side of the mounting member and having a free end removably coupled to a second side of the mounting member, the strap configured to extend around the structure;
a clamping member;
a main bolt extending through the clamping member and threadably engaged with the mounting member; and
a nut threadably engaged with the main bolt and located adjacent the clamping member;
the main bolt configured to tension the strap by contacting the structure and urging the mounting member in a first direction, away from the structure by rotation of the main bolt relative to the mounting member via the threaded engagement therebetween;
the clamping member and the mounting member configured to retain the electrical conductor therebetween by rotation of the nut to urge the clamping member toward the mounting member.
