CENTRAL DISTRIBUTION POINT<br />

SERVICE<br />

Services to more than one agricultural building may be<br />

supplied from a central distribution point in accordance with NEC<br />

Section 547.9. When services to agricultural buildings are located<br />

on the opposite sides of the public way, they shall be supplied<br />

through separate meters.<br />

Generally, the <strong>Company</strong>’s secondary distribution will be<br />

terminated on a centrally located service pole from which<br />

customer-owned service drops may be connected. For this<br />

arrangement, the disconnecting means and overcurrent protection<br />

is located at the load (building) end of each service drop where<br />

normal service equipment and grounding standards apply.<br />

Additionally, NEC Section 547.9(A) requires a properly marked<br />

and identified disconnecting means at the central distribution<br />

point<br />

where two or more buildings are supplied from that point. This<br />

disconnecting means shall be classified as a “site-isolating device”<br />

and shall have provisions for bonding the grounding<br />

electrode
