1363.05 INSTRUMENT FOR MEASURING POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE.

   To aid in determining whether or not the requirements of this chapter are being complied with, every person, firm or corporation referred to in Section 1363.02, constructing, operating or maintaining metallic conductors not insulated from the ground forming parts of such current-carrying electric circuits, shall provide and maintain insulated potential wires extending from some common point located within the limits of the City to an adequate number of points to be designated from time to time by the authorized representative of the Municipality. Such person, firm or corporation shall also provide an adequate number of voltmeters so arranged with reference to the insulated potential wires that the potential difference between the points on such metallic conductors may be readily and accurately measured; and the potential difference between some one of such points and each other of the points as determined by readings of the voltmeters taken at least every thirty seconds during ten consecutive minutes, shall be measured and recorded. These readings shall be taken at least once every week on a business day during the one hour of maximum difference of potential. In lieu of such readings, there may be substituted the continuous records from an adequate number of recording voltmeters installed as aforesaid. The authorized representatives of the Municipality and any other interested persons shall have access to such potential wires, voltmeters and records and shall have the right to be present and witness such measurements, and shall further have the right to make such additional measurements as the representative may consider necessary or desirable.
