25 25 403. SINGLE SERVICE DROP Only one service drop connected to the same overhead mains will be attached to any one building, and only one set of service entrance conductors shall be connected to each service drop except in cases specifically permitted by the NEC, Section 230.2, or where special permission has been obtained from the “authority ha ving jurisdiction.” The drop may consist of parallel service cables for capacity. Overhead services may be provided up to a nd including 1000 Ampere total switch frame capacity unless limited by construction problems. Overhead secondaries shall be limited to two - four conductor (three phase and one neutral / messenger) cables 336.4 kcm (or smaller). Where greater capacity is required, other types of construction such as underground service must be used. Refer to Section IX. 404. SERVICE/METER POLE In lieu of running a regular service drop to a building, the Company may terminate its electric service conductors on a customer owned pole or structure suitably located on the customer's property. In such event, the customer shall furnish, install, own and maintain all facilities beyond this pole. The Company requires the meter enclosure (and recommends the service disconnect) to be mounted on the service/meter pole. Although a disconnect and overcurrent device (on the pole) may not be required (by the NEC) for all applications, it is highly recommended since it provides protection for the customer’s cable and allows the customer to disconnect and m aintain their conductors without the cost of a Company line crew visit. Note: Metered and unmetered wires are not allowed in the same conduit, raceway or gutter. A riser (only) pole is not considered to be a service/meter pole. Refer to Illustration No. 4 (single meter) or No. 5 (multiple meter) in Section XII for construction details.
26 Refer to paragraph 219 for the requirements on interconnecting Company lines with customer-owned line extensions. 405. NEW AND UPGRADED SERVICE ENTRANCES A. GENERAL Company seals will be cut or removed only by qualified Company employees. Any expenses in connection with the relocation or change of Company facilities as a result of a customer change or relocation of the service entrance shall be borne by the customer. The customer shall be responsible for installing the service entrance which encompasses the weatherhead through the service disconnecting device/overcurrent protection, and includes the service entrance grounding. A Company employee will work with the customer and/or electrician in determining a suitable meter location, point of attachment of the service drop and location of the service head. The meter must be in a safe and readily accessible location. All service entrance installations must be approved by the Company and a State or municipal inspector. Any required local or State permits or certificates of inspection shall be received by the Company before new or upgraded services are connected. All electrical connections to Company secondaries must be made by a Company employee. Outdoor work may be affected by weather, and scheduling may be subject to change. 26
