The cow contact test and 48 hour test are used to determine the presence and level of stray voltage and are performed in all investigations, subject to the provisions of § 20:10:39:21. The cow contact test is performed first. The primary profile test, secondary neutral voltage drop test, load box test, and signature test may be performed in any order and may be performed without first determining that these tests are required under § 20:10:39:19. The primary profile test, secondary neutral voltage drop test, load box test, and signature test may be performed prior to starting the recording for the 48 hour test or while the 48 hour test is in progress. The 48 hour test may be interrupted as necessary to conduct the secondary neutral voltage drop test, load box test, and signature test, or for review and analysis of the data recorded up to that point.
