69 69 � Furnish and install (at the customer’s expense) the primary cable in conduit furnished by the customer or direct buried. � Provide a padmount transformer of adequate capacity. 903. CUSTOMER COSTS The customer shall pay for all costs for the installation of single-phase secondary underground (UG) service provided by the Company as determined on a flat rate basis in accordance with the Company’s filed tariffs. Should it be necessary for the Company to install a road crossing pole specifically for an underground service installation which would not be provided for an equivalent overhead service, the customer shall be assessed a fee to cover the additional cost. The payment for the underground construction costs must be received by the Company prior to the scheduling of the construction. 904. LOOP FEED REQUIREMENT When providing primary underground service to be owned by the Company or located in a public way, the construction will be a Loop Feed System or contain a spare cable. A primary underground line feeding a single customer and owned by that customer may be constructed as a radial feed system. See paragraph 219 of this handbook for more information on customer constructed/owned lines. A Loop Feed System serves loads from one source circuit, through two separate cables or sets of cables. Ideally, the risers would be on separate poles, but when economic or physical conditions prevent the utilization of two separate poles, it shall be
70 acceptable to mount the riser(s) on a common pole. Loop Feed Systems shall be from the same phase of the same circuit. If this is not possible, written approval from the Company shall be required for a Loop Feed System fed from different phases or circuits. A spare cable may be used in certain applications in polyphase construction, and requires the installation of an additional primary cable in a common conduit. The use of a spare cable verses a Loop Feed System will be at the Company’s discretion, and shall be determined prior to the design phase of the construction project. An Alternate Feed System involves two distinctly separate feeds, in separate conduit systems, and from separate circuits. This type of system is designed to be operated primarily from one of the sources, with the other source being for emergency or back- up purposes. Alternate Feed Systems shall require the written approval of the Company. 905. RESIDENTIAL SECONDARY SERVICES Residential underground services to operate below 150 volts to ground may be installed in customer owned conduit or direct buried in trench provided by the customer and meeting Company standards and specifications as outlined in Illustrations No.s 30, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 33 in Section XII. The required cable may be furnished and installed by the Company subject to the cost provisions of paragraph 903. Following are the standard underground services available from the Company:
