REMOVAL
Only authorized Company
representatives are
permitted to install or
remove a meter. If removal
of meters is necessary
when the Customer is
installing siding or
making other building
repairs, the Company will,
upon reasonable notice to
its Division Office,
detach the meter socket,
detach and tie up the
incoming service line and
if necessary, disconnect
the service line. The
Customer is responsible
for removing and
re-installing the weather
head and service-entrance
cable, and remounting the
meter socket as described
in Section
8.5. The Customer
shall mark the location of
a suitable stud to
facilitate the
re-installation of the
brackets and service line
by the Company. Work on
service-entrance cables
and meter sockets shall be
done by qualified
electrical contractors.
Upon completion of the
building work in the area
of the service-entrance
equipment, the Company
will re-attach and
re-connect the incoming
service line and reseal
the meter.
BREAKING
OF METER SEALS AND REMOVAL
OF METERS BY CUSTOMERS OR
ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS,
WITHOUT COMPANY
NOTIFICATION IS
PROHIBITED.
TYPES
AND SIZES
The type and size of
metering equipment will be
determined by the Company.
It will be based on the
type of service and size
of service-entrance
conductors used by the
Customer.
Single-phase services
having only a single
conductor per line of 250
KCM or less with load up
to 35 kVA will be metered
with self-contained meters
in meter sockets. A
self-contained meter is
one without separately
mounted instrument
transformers. Single-phase
services having only a
single conductor per line,
with loads over 35 kVA,
will be metered with
meters mounted on
Transockets as shown in Figure 13.
Allowable wire sizes are
250 KCM through 750 KCM
aluminum and 4/0 through
500 KCM copper.
Transockets are
meter-mounting assemblies
having built-in current
transformers. Information
regarding meter sockets
for single-phase service
is shown in Table I.
Two hundred amp
three-phase services
having only a single
conductor per line of 4/0
or less will be metered
with self-contained meters
in meter sockets as shown
in Figure 12.
Three-phase services
having only a single
conductor per line of 4/0
through 500 KCM including
750 KCM aluminum, will be
metered with meters
mounted on Transockets as
shown in Figure 13.
Information regarding
meter-mounting equipment
for three-phase service is
shown in Table II,
and Table
III.
The Customer shall specify
either the proper hub size
required, or a hub-opening
blank-off plate. See Table
II. No reducers are
permitted. All other
hardware required for
connection of the
Customer’s conduit or
cable shall be furnished
and installed by the
Customer.
All service installations
with conductors larger
than the above, or with
more than one-conductor
per line, require
separately mounted current
transformers. They will be
metered using 22-inch by
18-inch duplex or 11-inch
by 18-inch transformer
rated sockets as shown in Figure 15.
