131A.2.1 For the short circuit test, three samples are to be mounted as intended, draped with* d" f! q* f* p
cheesecloth, and then a short circuit condition is to be introduced to simulate a line to neutral fault. The short should be located in the farthest series string to provide the maximum lead resistance.
