- 1For high voltage lines, jumpers are arranged such that under maximum deflection conditions there is a specified minimum clearance between the line jumpers and other metallic parts.
- 2A jumper has the same current-carrying capacity as that of the line conductor.
- 3A jumper is made up of a different material than that of the line conductor to withstand the maximum voltage gradient.✓
- 4Jumpers are fixed to the line conductors with a suitable clamp.
Correct answer
A jumper is made up of a different material than that of the line conductor to withstand the maximum voltage gradient.
