Product Description

The Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool permits a safe and quick method to 

bypass an overhead cutout without the tedious use of bulky jumper cables.  The 

tool is indispensable for fuse coordination tasks and permits easy bypass of an 

underground dip.  The Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool saves time and money, 

eliminates risk of service interruption and prevents accidental cross phasing.
The primary purpose of the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool is to temporarily 

bypass a cutout fuse door during fuse coordination. The Jack Jumper™ Cutout 

Bypass Tool is rated at 100 Amps continuous AC current without exceeding a 

40°C temperature rise. It is used to bypass cutouts on both overhead lines and 

underground taps. 
For 200 Ampere SMD-20 Power Fuses attach a Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass 

Tool on each side (this only works for SMD-20 Power Fuse Tools and cannot be 

utilized for standard cutouts). 
Installation and removal of the  Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool is done with a 

shotgun stick.

WARNING

Only install the Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool with the use 

of an insulated shotgun stick. When attaching or detaching the 

Jack Jumper™ Cutout Bypass Tool do not use abrupt or rough 

movements, be gentle and do not hurry.
