Sec. 80.862 Proof of capacity.
(a) When directed by the Commission or its authorized representative, the
station licensee must prove that the requirements of Sec. 80.861 are met.
(b) Proof of the ability of a battery used as a main or reserve source to

a prescribed period of time, when supplying power at the voltage required
for normal and operation to an electrical load as prescribed by paragraph
(d) of this section.
(c) When the reserve power supply is an engine-driven generator, proof of
the adequacy of the engine fuel supply to operate the unit contiuously for 6
hours can be established by measuring the fuel consumption for 1 hour when
supplying power, at the voltage required for normal operation, to an
electrical load as prescribed by paragraph (d) of this section.
(d) In determining the electrical load to be supplied, the following formula
must be used:
(1) One-half of the current of the required transmitter at its rated power
output.
(2) One fourth of the current of the automatic radiotelephone alarm signal
generator; plus
(3) Current of receiver; plus
(4) Current of emergency light(s); plus
(5) Current of the bridge-to-bridge transceiver when connected.
(e) At the conclusion of the test specified in paragraphs (b) and (c) of
