Custom Insulated Jumpers or Macs

Insulated Mechanical Jumper Components and Assemblies

Insulated bypass jumper sets consist of three basic components: a pair of clamps, one pair of ferrules, and a length of insulated cable. JM Test Systems can build your custom mechanical jumper configurations to your specifics.

All Salisbury Insulating Jumpers meet ASTM F2321 standards.

INSULATED JUMPER CHECKLIST
1. Specify the style of insulated clamps.

All of the clamps installed wearing rubber insulating gloves, accept either shrouded or unshrouded ferrules, and accept insulated cable up to 4/0, 35kV. Insulated jumper clamps are sold in pairs.

2. Specify the size and length of insulated cable.

Salisbury offers 15kV cable from #2 to 4/0. 25 and 35 kV cable are both available in sizes 1/0 and 2/0. Be sure to specify the length of the cable chosen.

3. Specify if there are any special requirements.

This could include heat shrink tubing, special assembly instructions, markings, packaging etc.

 

1. Insulated Jumper Clamps

Salisbury Sure-Lok® Jumper Clamp

The Salisbury Sure-lok® Jumper clamp is a revolutionary improvement over any other jumper clamp in the world. Featuring a ratchet type locking mechanism, this is the only clamp available guaranteed not to loosen once installed on a line.

2. Flexible Insulated Jumper Cables

Flexible Insulated Jumper Cables are lightweight and resistant to oil, heat, moisture, ozone and abrasion. The cable is embossed every three feet with conductor size and kV rating. All jumper cables use fine stranded conductor and a new EPR low temperature Unipass orange CV cured jacket. The fine stranded copper conductor is alloy coated and assembled in a unidirectional rope lay for extra flexibility. The conductor has a semiconducting shield surrounding it to relieve voltage stress and improve dielectric strength and service life.

Cable meets requirements of ASTM F2321.

3. Ferrules – Shrouded / Unshrouded

Ferrules are manufactured in two different styles: unshrouded and shrouded.

Shrouded ferrules are compressed on both the conductor and the insulating jacket of the high voltage EPR cable to reduce bending stress.

Shrouded ferrules are designed to be used on glove-installed high voltage jumpers. Unshrouded ferrules are crimped to the conductor strands only and can be used on either stick- or glove-installed jumpers.

Ferrules are manufactured of 99.5% pure copper with industry standard 5/8”-11 NC threads.

Ferrules are topped with a brass hex jam nut and toothed stainless steel lockwasher.
