Why rent safety grounds from JM Test
JM Test repairs, cleans and tests ground cables for continuity and resistance values before shipment.
Currently over 400 grounds in our rental inventory.
JM Test carries a wide variety of clamps, cable sizes and lengths.
JM Test offers fast shipping nationwide.
Buying a new piece of equipment requires multiple people to approve and sign-off on. Renting grounds can alleviate these purchasing complications and keep your job on schedule.
Rental rates are typically 90% less than the cost of purchasing. There’s no reason to buy equipment that you only use occasionally.
Grounds can be bulky and very heavy. Renting eliminates the need to store them at your jobsite or office facility. JM Test also provides a canvas carry bag for each set of grounds for easier transport.
Ground strap management is key to conducting a safe and event free major electrical outage. By partnering with one of our service providers, JM Test Systems, we were able to optimize the ground strap management process to reduce risk, lower cost, and improve efficiency of resources. Having JM Test Systems on site with mobile facilities outfitted with pre-tested ground straps and qualified personnel to manage and track grounds was a huge success. Through this partnership we were able to rent additional grounds instead of purchase, this saved thousands of dollars. Reduce time, manpower, and risk associated with transferring grounds from one asset to another, grounds were placed in a canvas bag with identification tags attached, logged into the tracking system, then placed in the field at point of use. JM Test System provided around the clock personnel to keep track of grounds as each was returned and / or checkout to maintain a solid custody trail ensuring all grounds were accounted for prior to equipment being energized.
The partnership with JM Test Systems is one example of how we were able to achieve our vision for an injury free and event free outage.

Grounding Cable Inspection, Cleaning, & Repair
Our process of handling customers equipment follows the best suggested process, set forth by ASTM, the governing body over testing materials. Our process is as follows:
STEP 1
Connection Review
We review each part and their connections throughout the entire ground/jumper set.
STEP 2
Clamp Inspection
Clamps are checked for functionality. If they fail, we can repair most clamps or replace them if one is too damaged.
STEP 3
Ferrule Check
Next, we check ferrules and ensure the connection between the clamp and the ferrule is solid and free of debris. (Dirty equipment can have a significant impact on the equipment’s ability to function properly.) The ferrule to wire connection is checked to ensure no cable is damaged or exposed. If there is an issue, we repair it.
STEP 4
Cable Inspection
Lastly, we check the entire length of the cable for damage to the insulation. We can repair minor damage, shorten the cable length to remove the damage, or replace the cable completely.
STEP 5
Equipment Test
After the visual inspection test, the equipment is tested under the procedures outlined in ASTM F2249 for grounds and ASTM F2321 for jumpers. If the equipment fails the testing, we start the process over and attempt to diagnose the exact issue in order to repair the problem part instead of replacing the entire set of equipment. We can probe each piece of the set and determine if just a single ferrule is bad, both ferrules, a connection isn’t quite right, or that the cable is too degraded, ect. JM Test is able to service, repair, or replace all parts in house via our highly trained technicians.

Tags Put On
All items are labelled with calibration tags to clearly show the calibration date and any ID numbers provided by the customer.

Grounding Cables
Grounding Cables are made with extra flexible strand of soft drawn #30 AWG (.01”) copper and are available in three different jackets.
Grounding Cables are made with extra flexible strand of soft drawn #30 AWG (.01”) copper and are available in three different jackets.
The yellow thermoplastic elastomer jacketed cable is the standard for grounding service. It provides a combination of economy, flexibility, and durability. The service temperature ranges from 200º to -50ºF per ASTM F 855, Type I requirements.
The black thermoplastic elastomer jacketed cable has a smaller diameter and thinner jacket material giving it better flexibility than the yellow cable. The service temperature ranges from 200º to -50ºF per ASTM F 855, Type I requirements.
The PVC transparent flexible thermoplastic jacketed cable allows easy inspection for strand breakage. The flexibility decreases with low temperatures. The service temperature ranges from 140º to -40ºF per ASTM F 855, Type III requirements.
The silicone transparent flexible thermoplastic jacketed cable allows easy inspection for strand breakage. The service temperature ranges from 302º to -40ºF per ASTM F 855, Type I requirements.
Grounding Clamps
The clamps in any assembly can be identical or quite different depending on each grounding application. JM Test Systems stocks a wide variety of clamps for ALL applications. Clamps are offered in either bronze or aluminum alloys and are manufactured to meet the current specifications of ASTM F 855.
To attach a clamp to the grounding cable requires the use of a ferrule. Ferrules are compressed on the strands of the cable to provide a low resistance permanent connection. The size of the ferrule is determined by the size of the cable. Ferrules are manufactured to the specifications of ASTM F 855.
JM Test Systems is compliant with OSHA and NFPA standards including:
OSHA
NFPA 70E 2021
