Application Note
Jumper cables should NOT be used in place of normal high voltage cables. They should
be isolated in areas where contact with people is limited. Because jumper cables cannot be
protected against prolonged contact with other conductors or grounds by shielding, these
cables must be positioned away from contact with grounds, transformer cases, cross-arms,
etc., to avoid possible high stress and capacitance leakage. Cables should be installed with at
least one cable diameter of separation between adjacent conductors and between conductors
and all metallic and/or electrically grounded parts. These cables are not intended for
permanent service.
