George;

Ask "What is the Service Voltage at the time of the test".
(Voltage at the Service Equipment)

Then have the HI apply the math, to obtain the Voltage Drop Percentage.

Then ask for "Calibration Certification" for the Tester.

Then ask to have the test performed at the following loads:
* 5 amps,
* 10 amps,
* 15 Amps.
With the results from the above 3 tests, average out the Voltage Drop - as applied from the Service Voltage at the time of the tests.

Then point out the FPN is only suggestion, which says 5% total is "OK" for a "Suggestion".

Then ask for some legal documentation which points out the hazards to persons, where the Voltage Drop is concerned.

By this time, the HI should conceed, and stop pushing "Bandini Code*" as something enforcable.

Scott

BTW "Bandini Code*" = Code which has the value of Bandini Fertilizer:
  1. Works best when spread across Lawns - as will cause the Grass to grow much greener,
  2. Statements should be packaged under the name "Bandini", and sold in the Lawn & Garden section of Home Improvement stores,
  3. Code article has a Male Bovine Fecal Matter level of > 99.999%
