Utility Solutions Jack Jumper® for S&C SMD-20 15 kV $509.99

As a member of the T and A Tools team, I’m pleased to introduce the Utility Solutions Jack Jumper® for S&C SMD-20 15 kV — a purpose-built cutout bypass tool designed to make fuse changes and coordination faster, safer, and more reliable for utility linemen and crews. Priced at $509.99, this specialized tool is optimized for use on S&C SMD-20 power fuses rated for 15 kV.

Key Features

  • Voltage Rating: 15 kV — compatible with S&C SMD-20 power fuses.
  • Current Rating: 100 amps continuous duty (designed not to exceed a 40°C temperature rise during use).
  • Purpose: Enables a temporary, safe bypass of an overhead or underground cutout during fuse replacement or coordination, eliminating the need for bulky jumper cables.
  • Operation: Installs and removes in seconds using a shotgun stick (hot stick), allowing linemen to work from a safe distance.
  • Applications: Ideal for fuse coordination tasks and fuse changes when maintaining service is important.
  • Design: Robust, field-ready construction with no moving parts and an external stainless steel spring for durability.
  • Models: This variant is specifically for S&C SMD-20 15 kV cutouts and is one of several Jack Jumper models that fit nearly all cutout types on the market.

How It Works

The Utility Solutions Jack Jumper® for S&C SMD-20 15 kV is attached from the arcing horn to the cradle of the cutout using a shotgun stick. Once installed, it establishes a secure electrical bypass path so linemen can safely remove or coordinate fuses without disconnecting service. The tool’s straightforward design enables quick installation and removal, minimizing exposure time in energized environments.

Advantages

  • Improved safety: Reduces the manual installation of jumper cables and limits worker exposure to energized equipment.
  • Time and cost savings: Streamlines fuse changes and coordination, reducing labor time and interruption risks.
  • Less service interruption: Facilitates maintenance without taking customers offline whenever possible.
