The purpose of the 48 hour test is to determine whether stray current or voltage exceeds the preventive action level at selected locations over a 48 hour period, subject to §§ 20:10:39:19 and 20:10:39:38. The test also demonstrates whether the primary or secondary sides of the system have a specific impact on the recorded current or voltage at specific times of day. The results of the 48 hour test may be highly indicative of the presence of stray voltage.
