Temporary Bond
The Voltage Detector temporary bond is used to temporarily ground a light
fixture, metallic conduit, power company hardware, power ground wire, or
other metallic objects in a work space that could become energized if a fault
developed. It is a heavy-duty insulated cord equipped with a large clamp on
one end and a smaller clamp on the other end.
Connecting the Temporary Bond
Connect the temporary bond only after the metallic object has first been
tested with the Voltage Detector and found to be free of a voltage potential.
To attach the bond, first connect the small clamp to a reliable ground source;
then connect the large clamp to the metallic object.
Disconnecting the Temporary Bond
When the work is completed, first disconnect the bond’s large clamp from the
metallic object; then disconnect the small clamp from the ground source.
Should a fault develop while the temporary bond is in place, the insulation
may overheat and smoke, at which time you should avoid contact with the
bond.
