The <strong>Company</strong> will make all connections to padmount<br />
transformers.<br />
However, on customer owned cable, the customer<br />
must provide all lugs and associated hardware and install them on<br />
the cable.<br />
For any underground service, splices or taps should be<br />
avoide d. If splices or taps (as permitted in NEC Section 230.33<br />
and 230.46) are required, then they must be in an enclosure, or,<br />
direct buried using a splice "listed" for direct burial and for the<br />
cable type used. Any splices on CMP's side of the meter socket<br />
must be accessible for inspection (by CMP). Note, by choosing<br />
the<br />
appropriate meter socket, splicing for the purpose of<br />
"downsizing" conductors may be avoided (refer to the<br />
"Supplement," paragraph 1.10.5).<br />
906. NON-RESIDENTIAL SECONDARY SERVICES<br />
All underground secondary cable (including transformer<br />
interconnecting cables) and terminal lugs required must be<br />
provided and owned by the customer whether from overhead or<br />
padmount transformer installations. Except as noted in Paragraph<br />
914, “Risers”, cable will be installed by the customer.<br />
Three phase service from a pole mounted three-phase unit<br />
or banked arrangement of transformers may be provided for total<br />
switch(s) capacity not to exceed 1,000 amperes. Note: Overhead<br />
secondary will be limited to two-four conductor (three phase<br />
conductors and one neutral/messenger) cables 336.4 kcmil (or<br />
smaller). Underground secondaries consisting of cables with<br />
conductors 4/0 AWG and smaller shall have no more than four<br />
conductors per phase. Underground secondaries consisting of<br />
cables with conductors larger than 4/0 AWG shall have no more<br />
than two conductors per phase. The owner of the secondary<br />
cables shall provide all terminal lugs and transformer secondary<br />
interconnecting cable and connectors. Cable support and<br />
positioning brackets may be required at the discretion of the
