ASTM F2321  Standard Specification for Flexible Insulated Temporary By-Pass Jumpers
ASTM F2321柔性絕緣臨時(shí)旁路跳線的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)規(guī)范
These specifications provides the manufacture and testing, as well as individual design, electrical, mechanical, and workmanship requirements for a system of flexible insulated temporary bypass jumpers used on energized power lines and equipment. These specifications for a system of bypass jumpers are covered in four parts as follows: clamps for bypass jumpers; ferrules for bypass jumpers; cable for bypass jumpers; and bypass jumpers (complete assembly with clamps, ferrules, and cable). The use and maintenance of these equipments are not addressed in these specifications.
This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.
1. Scope
1.1 These specifications cover the manufacture and testing of flexible insulated temporary bypass jumpers (bypass jumpers) used on energized power lines and equipment.
1.2 It is common practice for the user of this protective equipment to prepare complete instructions and safety regulations to govern in detail the correct and safe use of such equipment. Also see .
1.3 The use and maintenance of this equipment are beyond the scope of these specifications.
1.4 These specifications for a system of bypass jumpers is covered in four parts as follows:
