The Board does not accel responsibility with regard to the maintenance or testing of wiring on the consumer premises.

iii) Before taking the insulation test of the installation the wiring must be complete in every respect. All fittings such as lamps, fans, cookers, motors, etc. must be connected up, fuses inserted and all switches switched in 'ON' position before the tests are carried out.Temporary wires of fittingsordead enclsshould not be included in the installation and no part of the work should be left incomplete. The insulation resistance of the entire installation to earth shall be tested from the installation side of the Board's terminals.

iv) The Board shall not connect the conductors and fittings on the consumer's premises with its works unless it is reasonably satisfied that the connection will not at the time of making connection cause a leakage from those conductors and fittings exceeding one-five thousandth part of maximum supply demanded on the consumer's premises.

v) A pressure of 500 volts will be applied between the whole installation and earth and the insulation resistance after one minute's electrifucation shall not be less than the total number of Ohms arrived at by dividing the number 10,000,000 in the dry season and 5,000,000 in the rainy season by the number expressing the maximum electric current in amperes required.

vi) The test between the poles should give at least half the result of that to "earth".

vii) In the case of reconnection of supply after a period of six months or more the consumer shall submit a test report of the Licensed Electricl Contractor before the supply is reconnected.

b) High Tension Consumers:

In the case of High Tension Consumers "

i) All Low Tension wiring and equipment will be tested in accordance with the foregoing conditions.

ii) Manufacturer's test certificates in respect of all H.T. apparatus shall be produced, if required.

iii) In addition, the Board may test the H.T. installation by applying standard test voltage in accordance with Indian Electricity Rules.
