Idaho Admin. Code r. 31.61.01.010

Current through September 2, 2024
Section 31.61.01.010 - DEFINITIONS
01.Incorporation by Reference. These rules incorporate by reference definitions found in Idaho Code 61-802, the NEC and the NESC.
02.Equipotential Plane (EPP). See NEC.
03.Primary System. The high voltage utility electrical system including the generation, transmission and distribution systems. It also refers to the high voltage side of a distribution transformer.
04.Secondary System. Means the low-voltage utility electrical system on the secondary side of a distribution transformer. The dairy's on-farm system begins on the dairy's side of the metering points, except for dairies metered on the high voltage side of the transformer(s). In the case of dairies metered on the high voltage side, the on-farm system begins at the transformer's low-voltage lugs.
05.Service Provider. Any person, company or other legal entity providing stray voltage or current testing, consulting, measurements, analysis services, construction, or hardware.
06.Shunt Resistor. A physical resistor or combination of resistors used to simulate a dairy cow's body resistance, body-to-metal contact resistance, and hoof-to-earth contact resistance between the cow and contact points during the measurement of cow contact voltage. A shunt resistor shall be five hundred (500) ohm plus or minus two percent (+/- 2%).
07.Source Resistance. That portion of resistance in the circuit, other than the resistance of the cow and its contact resistance, when the cow is completing a circuit between contact points.
08.Stray Current or Voltage.
a. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term "stray voltage" shall mean stray current or stray voltage.
09.Tests, Measurements, Procedures and Analysis. Means any or all of the stray voltage testing, measurement, work and work product defined in these rules.
10.Transient. Transient or transient deviation means a non-steady state increase or spike in voltage or current. For the purpose of identifying and reporting transients in cow contact voltage (Vcc) or current (Icc), a transient occurs when the recorded maximum Vcc or Icc in a recording interval exceeds two hundred percent (200%) of the steady state Vcc or Icc recorded during the same recording interval.
11.Utility. Means a public electric utility as defined in Section 61-332A, Idaho Code.
