foundation] shall have the service
equipment
mounted separate from the structure in accordance
with NEC
Section 550.32 (A) and Illustration No.s 4, 5 or No. 9

(for purposes of this handbook) refers to a structure built prior
to
June 15, 1976. Company approved prewired combination meter
and service equipment may be used (See the “Supplement”
located
in the inside back cover of this handbook).
The
Company is not responsible for enforcement of
the
rules, e.g. NEC, beyond the service disconnecting
means/overcurrent protection and service grounding; therefore, the
Company
will not be determining whether or not
an additional
disconnect is required (within 30 feet of the
unit) as a condition
for activation of the electric service. As with any service,
however, the Company reserves the right to refuse connection
when doing so would create a dangerous or unsafe condition.
G rounding at the disconnecting means shall be in accordance
with
NEC Section 250.32. The service cable installation (on the line
side of the service disconnecting means) must meet all Company
standards for underground service, as applicable.
In accordance with NEC Article 550, the service equipment
shall be rated at not less than 100 amperes, and provisions shall
be
made for connecting a mobile home "feeder assembly" (4
insulated conductors) by a permanent wiring method. Power
