LOCATION FOR TRANSFORMERS AND EQUIPMENT

The Customer shall provide a location of size and arrangement suitable to the Company for the installation of line switches, primary buses, transformers, and associated equipment, in accordance with these rules. Such transformers and equipment shall be installed in or on a suitable structure or enclosure specified by the Company, such as a substation, vault, pad or pole installation.

The location shall be accessible for the installation and removal of equipment directly from the street or from an unobstructed driveway to be provided by the Customer. The Company's equipment on the premises is a part of the Company's transmission and distribution system and it is essential that Company representatives shall have immediate access to that part of the premises containing this equipment at all times.

INSTALLATIONS ON POLES

Transformed service furnished from a pole-mounted installation on Customer property can be supplied when the loads are within the overhead capacity limits shown on Table 4.1.2. When service requirements can be met by street secondary supply lines as shown in Table 4.1.1, service will usually be supplied from the street as described in Section 5.

Overhead Services

For services of 480 volts or less, the Company will furnish and install an overhead service drop not in excess of one span (100 feet or less, depending on wire size) to the Customer's building or other suitable support approved by the Company. The Company will make the necessary connection to the Customer's service-entrance conductors at that point.

Underground Services

For a typical installation, See Figure 6. When service-entrance conductors are installed underground, the Customer shall furnish, install, own, and maintain the service cable and conduit in its entirety including:

(a) Not more than two metallic or PVC Schedule 80 conduit elbows at the base of the pole to a minimum of 6" above final grade. If more than two conduits are required, contact the Division Office.

(b) A metallic or PVC Schedule 80 Conduit, with proper fastenings, from the top of each elbow to a point not less than 8 feet nor more than 11 feet above the final (finished) ground level.

(c) PVC Schedule 40 cable guard (U-Guard) with proper fastenings, to extend from the top of each metallic or PVC Schedule 80 Conduit to a point approximately 24 inches below the bottom of the transformer/s.

The Customer shall install all duct and conduit except the U-guard covering. The Company will install the U-guard covering on the pole.

Where other than a wood pole is designated as a terminal pole, the installation shall be made as specified by the Division Office.

The Customer shall furnish cable of sufficient length to reach the secondary terminals of the transformer or transformers. The Customer shall install the cable in the underground portion of the duct or conduit and in the conduit on the pole and shall coil it at the top of this conduit. The Company will complete the installation and make the connection to its facilities.
