Signifi

21、cance and Use4.1 These specifications cover the minimum electrical andphysical properties designated by the manufacturer and thedetailed procedures by which such properties are to be deter-mined. The purchaser may at his option perform or haveperformed any of these tests in order to verify the manuf

22、actur-ers designation. Claims for failure to meet the specification aresubject to verification by the manufacturer.4.2 Bypass jumpers are devices designed and used to keepelectrical circuits effectively continuous (electrically bridged)for short periods of time at work locations when conductors oreq

23、uipment may otherwise be opened or made discontinuousduring work operations. Bypass jumpers are insulated totemporarily protect personnel from brush or accidental contactonly; therefore, when authorizing their use, a margin of safetyshould be provided between the maximum voltage used on,and the proo

24、f-test voltage at which they are tested. Therelationship between proof-test voltage and the maximumvoltage at which bypass jumpers are used is shown in Table 1.WarningPortions of these devices (clamps and ferrules) arenot insulated and offer no protection from accidental contact.CLAMPS FOR BYPASS JU
