Michigan Administrative Code › Department - Licensing and Regulatory Affairs › Public Service Commission › Rules and Regulations Governing Animal Contact Current Mitigation › Section R. 460.2702 - Measuring animal contact voltage

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 2.
(1) A
				utility shall respond to a request for investigation and work with the
				complainant to conduct an initial investigation to determine stray voltage
				levels. If resolution is not met, the complainant may request further
				investigation as provided for in this rule.
(2) Upon conclusion of (1) and upon request
				of the complainant, a utility shall conduct an investigation of each
				complainant inquiry or complaint concerning animal contact current or voltage,
				commonly referred to as stray voltage. The following shall apply:
(a) The level of animal contact current shall
				be determined from measurements of animal contact voltage using Ohm's Law. The
				voltage measurement shall be made between 2 points, which an animal can
				simultaneously contact and under which animal contact voltage is most likely to
				occur. When measuring from the floor or earth, a single metallic plate with an
				area of 12 to 16 square inches shall be used to simulate the foot of the
				animal. One lead of the measuring instrument shall be connected to the plate,
				which shall be placed on the floor or earth where an animal may stand. The
				other lead of the measuring instrument shall be connected to a conductive
				object that an animal could reasonably contact while 1 of its feet is at the
				location of the plate. For all measurements of animal contact voltage a shunt
				resistor shall be used to simulate the resistance of the animal. A suitable
				material, such as a medical grade electrode contact gel, shall be used to
				simulate real conditions and maintain conductivity to the floor or earth for
				the duration of the testing period.
(b) An approved method for determining the
				utility contribution to the animal contact current is contained in

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 3.
(1) If the
				steady state animal contact current from all sources as measured by the utility
				in accordance with this rule meets or exceeds the preventive action level, and
				if the utility contribution exceeds 1 milliampere RMS, then the utility shall
				commence action within 2 business days, or at a mutually agreed upon timeframe
				between the complainant and the utility, to reduce the utility contribution to
				1 milliampere or less.
(2) If a
				utility is required to take action, then the utility shall make modifications
				or corrections to its facilities in accordance with the standards and codes
				approved by the commission.
(3) If
				the utility determines that some or all of the utility contribution is carried
				through a communication service provider's facilities, then the communication
				service provider shall eliminate the communication service system as a pathway
				for animal contact current from the utility's system within the time limit
				described in subrule (1) of this rule. For any disagreement between the utility
				and the communication service provider under this subrule, either party may
				seek a resolution from the commission.

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 6.
(1) After
				completing the procedures described in
				R
				460.2702 to
				R
				460.2705, if a complainant of a utility claims to have
				animals that have experienced behavior or production problems due to animal
				contact current caused by a utility's distribution system, then the complainant
				may file a formal complaint and request a contested case hearing before the
				commission to resolve the dispute. In accordance with the rules and procedures
				for contested cases, the commission shall consider facts and evidence to
				determine the following:
(a) Whether the
				utility's supply of electricity or electrical service is causing animal contact
				voltage or current of sufficient magnitude and duration to result in behavior
				or production problems.
(b) Whether
				the utility has taken reasonable steps to avoid or mitigate any animal contact
				current.
(c) Whether the claims or
				defenses are supported by valid scientific research and prevailing scientific
				opinion.
(d) Other findings the
				Commission deems necessary and relevant.

Rule 7.
(1) The
				following shall be the protocol for testing animal contact current when the
				utility utilizes a grounded distribution system with a primary neutral
				conductor, except that a utility may submit an alternative protocol to the
				commission for approval to determine the utility contribution to animal contact
				current:
(a) Identify animal contact location
				to be tested.
(b) Measure and
				record the steady state animal contact voltage (AcV) at the animal contact
				location concurrently with the neutral-to-earth voltage at utility primary
				distribution system (NpEV) and at the animal building panel (NbEV) for a period
				of 72 hours during a mutually agreed upon time frame to determine the maximum
				probable level of animal contact current under normal operating
				conditions.
(c) Determine the
				highest level of animal contact voltage that occurred during the 72?hour
				monitoring, and the primary neutral-to-earth voltage at the utility transformer
				location that occurred at that same time.
(d) Turn off farm electrical load and apply a
				temporary electrical load at the utility transformer to produce the same level
				of neutral-to-earth voltage at the utility transformer as found in subdivision
				(c) of this subrule. Measure the animal contact voltage again.
(e) Using the animal contact voltage measured
				in subdivision (d) of this subrule, compare it to the animal contact voltage
				measured in subdivision (b) of this subrule to determine the utility
				contribution to animal contact current using Ohm's law.
