Abstract :
This paper provides ranges of resistance values for 2/0 and 4/0 temporary grounding (TG) jumpers that when subjected to rated fault tests sustained: no damage, some fusing, and failed by separation. This information is unique and can be used for establishing minimum resistance values for TG jumper seating and selecting pass/fail criterion. The results were obtained from special tests conducted at Bonneville Power Administration and Ontario Hydro Power Technologies high current laboratories.
