Overview

The nVent CADDY Insulated Ground Jumper Kit (SKU: DGJ) provides a reliable grounding solution for industrial applications requiring electrical continuity across metallic structures. This kit features a 12-inch (304.8 mm) length of #6 AWG stranded copper wire with green THHN/THWN insulation, ensuring clear identification and protection against environmental factors. Each end is equipped with polished, two-hole compression lugs for secure, permanent connections to grounding points. The lugs are designed for low resistance and long-term integrity, typically made from high-quality copper or aluminum alloys. This jumper kit is ideal for establishing continuous ground paths between sections of ladder rack, conduit, or other metallic structures, preventing static electricity buildup and dissipating fault currents. The kit includes the jumper, compression lugs, and necessary fasteners for complete installation. It meets stringent industry standards for grounding applications in industrial and commercial settings.

How to Install the Insulated Ground Jumper Kit

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Insulated Ground Jumper Kit for bonding cable tray sections in telecommunications.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Grinding tool, Drill, Screwdriver

Supplies needed:

Zinc-based antioxidant, Stainless steel hardware, 2-hole compression lugs

  1. Prepare the installation area

    Locate the area where the kit will be installed and remove all paint, oxidation, and debris from the cable tray surface using a grinding tool.

  2. Drill holes for compression lugs

    Drill two 5/16” diameter holes spaced 5/8” apart on the cable tray surface to accommodate the 2-hole compression lugs. Repeat this step on the opposite side of the cable tray.

  3. Apply antioxidant and attach jumper

    Apply a generous coating of zinc-based antioxidant around the drilled holes on the cable tray surface. Then, attach the jumper to the cable tray using the stainless steel hardware provided.

  4. Clean up excess material

    Wipe off any excess antioxidant material to ensure a clean installation.

  5. Ensure compliance with UL requirements

    Verify that two straps are used per joint to meet UL requirements, ensuring bonding jumpers are installed at every joint including straight, curved, tee, and angular junctions.
