675 IAC 15-2-99 Electrical tests

Sec. 99. (a) Dielectric Strength Test. The wiring of each mobile structure shall be subjected to a one (1) minute, nine hundred (900) volt dielectric strength test (with all switches closed) between live parts (including neutral and the mobile structure ground). Alternatively, the test may be performed at one thousand eighty (1080) volts for one (1) second. This test shall be performed after branch circuits are complete and after fixtures or appliances are installed. EXCEPTION: Fixtures or appliances which are listed shall not be required to withstand the dielectric strength test. (b) Continuity and Operational Tests and Polarity Checks. Each mobile structure shall be subjected to: (1) an electrical continuity test to assure that all exposed electrically conductive parts are properly bonded; (2) an electrical operational test to demonstrate that all equipment, except water heaters and electric furnaces, is connected and in working order; and (3) electrical polarity checks of permanently wired equipment and receptacle outlets to determine that connections have been properly made.
