Service Equipment, Ratings And Settings

Service equipment (circuit breaker or switch and fuse) shall have a rating adequate to withstand and interrupt the maximum short-circuit current to which it may be subjected and shall be capable of being coordinated with the Company's protective equipment. The amount of such short-circuit current may be obtained from the Company after the service voltage and type of connection to the Company's system have been determined.

The maximum settings or fuse ratings which will be permitted for the Customer's protective equipment may be obtained from the Company after the service voltage, load characteristics, and type of connection to the Company's system have been determined. The Customer should be sure that all details of protection coordination are satisfactory to the Company before giving final approval to his order for service equipment.

The maximum circuit breaker settings or fuse ratings permitted for the Customer's protective equipment shall not be increased after the service has been established except by written permission of the Company. The Customer shall be responsible for damage to Company equipment caused by improper Customer circuit breaker settings or fuse ratings.

LOCATION OF SERVICE EQUIPMENT

All of the Customer's service equipment shall be located in the Customer's area, as differentiated from the area containing Company equipment, and shall be installed as close as practicable to the fence, wall or other boundary separating the area containing the Company equipment from the Customer's area. Convenient access to the service equipment shall be provided for Company personnel.
