Section 20:10:39:54 - Data collection for the signature test

During the signature test, individual pieces of major current drawing equipment are started and stopped. The effects of starting, operating, and stopping each piece of equipment are measured and recorded for a period of operation of at least 15 seconds. The person conducting the test identifies and records the equipment being tested and records the specific times that the equipment was started and stopped. A digitizing data recorder with averaging capability is used to measure and record the required electrical data. These measurements are taken at the same locations at the dairy where measurements were taken for the purpose of the load box test and 48 hour test. The following measurements are taken:

(1) Voltage from primary neutral at the transformer to remote reference electrode;

(2) Voltage from secondary neutral in the service panel serving the area of the cow contact to remote reference electrode;

(3) Voltage from primary neutral at the transformer to secondary neutral at the service panel serving the area of cow contact; and

(4) Cow contact voltage or cow contact current at the preselected point.
