Section 2: General Information
General

201. IT IS ALWAYS NECESSARY TO REFER TO AND COMPLY WITH STATUTES,

UTILITY COMMISSION RULES AND LOCAL ORDINANCES. THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS GENERAL AND DOES NOT INCLUDE
EVERY DETAIL OR EVERY LAWFUL REQUIREMENT.

202. This booklet is issued as a convenient general reference for customers, architects,
engineers and contractors planning or constructing buildings or installing, repairing
or renewing apparatus or equipment to be connected to the Company's distribution
system.

203. These practices are subject to additions and changes at any time as developments
and progress in the electrical industry may require. A copy of subsequent
approved changes will be furnished each holder of this manual upon request.

204. The information herein is supplementary to the National Electrical Code and the
National Electrical Safety Code, as approved by the American National Standards
Institute, and such state and municipal laws and ordinances as may be in force
within cities, towns or communities in which the Company furnishes electric
service. Should a conflict exist, the authority having jurisdiction will govern.

205. The Company is desirous of serving its customers promptly and satisfactorily. It
will endeavor to cooperate with contractors and customers to the fullest extent in
completing service connections with as little delay and inconvenience as possible
and will gladly give special attention to any particularly difficult situation confronting
a customer.

206. The Company will be willing to confer, upon request, with those desiring
information concerning rates, services, etc.

207. It is realized that the same or similar statements are repeated at various places in
this booklet, but is intentional for emphasis and also because reference may be
made to only a certain section for specific information and thus important factors
may be overlooked if they are not repeated.

Availability and Classification of Service

208. The Company's nominal secondary service voltages are 120 volts single phase,
120/240 volts, 3 wire single phase, 240 volts 3 phase 3 wire, 120/240 3 phase 4
wire, 120/208 3 phase 4 wire, 277/480 volts 3 phase 4 wire. Service voltages
higher than 480 volts are available only by negotiation with the company. The size
and type of the customer’s load must warrant such an installation. It is unusual for
the Company to have more than one of these voltages available at any one
location, and it must not be assumed that any particular voltage is available at any
particular location. All of the above voltages are supplied at approximately 60
hertz. The customer must ascertain from the Company with absolute certainty,
well in advance of the date actual service connection is required, whether or not
the type of service required is available in the particular locality in question. If
required service is available, its exact character must be determined; that is, the
voltage, phase, etc. THESE CHARACTERISTICS MAY VARY IN DIFFERENT
LOCALITIES. The Company will supply this information, and it is advisable to
obtain it in writing so as to avoid possible misunderstandings. Do not rely on the
representations of unauthorized parties. It is desirable to know the names of the
Company representatives you deal with.

209. The information contained in this booklet refers primarily to service requirements
at the usual secondary distribution voltages for light and power installations.
Service requirements for installations requiring higher voltages are subject to
special negotiation between the customer and the Company.

210. The Company will, if requested, advise and assist its present or prospective
customers relative to problems associated with electrical equipment and facilities
and particularly in the application of motors to the loads that are to be served.

Line Extensions

211. In order to avoid delay, persons desiring service are advised to inquire of the
Company as to what type service may be provided, and to make necessary
arrangements prior to beginning wiring installation.

212. Developers of subdivisions or other real estate projects are urged to consult with
the Company as soon as preliminary plans are made, in order that the electric line
extensions may be developed for the best possible arrangement, and right-of-way
obtained before any lots are sold. The company can often suggest minor changes
in lot lines so that poles, guy wires, pad-mount transformers, switchgear, etc. might

 be avoided in undesirable locations. The Company is able to offer Underground
Distribution in certain areas and details must be worked out in advance with the
Customer Service Engineering Department or the District Manager of the
Company (See Section 4).

Temporary Service/Saw Service

213. When temporary service is desired, the prospective customer will make
arrangements for it directly with the Company at his local office, well in advance of
the required service date. Prospective customers will contact the Company to have
the service location spotted before construction is started. The Company reserves
the right to refuse to connect a service without modification if a spot has not been
requested.

214. Temporary installations requiring special service, meter or other work for
construction purposes, exhibits of short duration etc., are made at the expense of
the customer, with charges according to the material and work required for
installing and removing. In all such cases, an advance payment sufficient to cover
the estimated construction expense and energy used may be required. In those
areas where Underground Distribution is to be established, special conditions
relative to the establishment of temporary service will arise and must be worked
out with the Customer Service Engineering Department or District Manager of the
Company.

215. These services are usually overhead for construction purposes. They must be
given special consideration since they are not of a permanent nature. In residential
or commercial areas where underground distribution exists or is planned, special
construction techniques are required. The following are the general steps to be
taken by the customer in acquiring temporary or saw service.

STEP 1 - Applicant shall provide and erect a "Temporary Service Assembly"

in accordance with the drawings, depending on whether the temporary
service is in the underground or overhead area. The "Overhead
Assembly" shall be installed at the job site not more than 125 feet from
and facing the Company's nearest pole carrying suitable secondary
wires. The "Underground Assembly" shall be installed as specified.
The customer shall obtain a release from the local inspecting
authority, if required, for each "Temporary Service Assembly."

STEP 2 - The customer shall make application for service at the Company's

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 7

 nearest Customer Service office paying the required connection
charge and/or service deposit. (This must be done at least three days
before the date service is required.)

EXCEPTIONS TO STEPS 1 & 2

In cases where the Company's facilities are not within 125 feet or
applicant is unable to determine whether or not the Company's
facilities are suitable, then he should call the Company's office and
request that an investigation be made as to the availability of
temporary service. The investigator will advise the applicant if the
service is readily available and where to install the "Temporary
Service Assembly". In the event that the service is not readily
available, a longer time may be required in order to make the
necessary line extensions. Once the customer has satisfied the
requirements of Step 1, he should proceed with Step 2.

Step 3 - The Company's service crews will come to the job site and make the
connections if the "Assembly" is properly located and erected. If the
"Assembly" is improperly installed, the applicant will be notified what
corrections are necessary, and Step 4 will then become applicable.

Step 4 - Applicant shall have the necessary corrections made then notify the
Company's nearest Customer Service office that the "Temporary
Assembly" is ready for the establishment of service. An additional
connection charge for the service crew's second call will be made.
This step, including the additional connection charge, will be repeated
for each trip the service crew makes and is unable to complete the
connection if due to improper location or installation of the "Temporary
Service Assembly".

NOTE: Each change of location of the “Temporary Service

Assembly” shall be considered a new application for
service and shall be governed by the rules above.

NOTE: If providing temporary service requires the Company to

install transformers and other facilities which must be
removed when temporary service is no longer required,
then the customer may be required to pay the cost of
installing and removing the Company’s temporary

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 8

 facilities.

216. The customer must provide a suitable support for the service drop wires, meter
and weatherproof housing for the service equipment. Service entrance wiring and
equipment will be supplied and installed by the customer and at the location
designated by the Company's representative. The temporary installation must
meet the above criteria and be able to support the weight of a ladder with a person
on it.

Manufactured (Mobile Home) Service

217. Owners of permanent or transient parking facilities should consult with the
Customer Service Engineering Department or District Manager of the Company to
find out how service will be provided. All installations shall be in accordance with
the latest approved National Electrical Code, Article 550, and latest Company
requirements. An electric meter can be attached to a manufactured (mobile) home
if the conditions below are met:

● Local code inspector approves service.

● Company requirements are met (for overhead service, see drawings 06.03-03A,
06.03-03B and 06.03-03C; for underground service, see drawing 06.04-03A).
● Letter from home manufacturer certifying the manufactured home meets
requirements for attaching service equipment.

Company has the right to reject any service found to be unsafe. Services could
be declared unsafe due to electrical or structural issues. Structural issues occur
most often on overhead installations – the installation not providing adequate
support for the tension of the service conductors. The customer assumes all
responsibility for damages resulting from attachment of service to a manufactured
(mobile) home. Customer will be responsible for cost of lift pole if required to
reduce tension of service conductor.

Number of Services and Meters

218. The Company will install only one set of service conductors (one voltage) to a
building or structure. If one customer occupies the building, only one watt-hour
meter will be installed. If occupied by several different families or businesses each
one will become a customer of the Company, and a meter for his service must be
installed.

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 9

219. In multiple occupancy buildings each customer's service entrance conductors shall
be in a separate raceway or cable, unless the meters for all customers are located
at a common point accessible at all times to the Company employees. In this case,
that portion of the service entrance between the weather head and the meters is
common to all customers. Each customer's main switch or other service equipment
must be in his own portion of the building or in a publicly accessible place.

Application for Service

220. The Company will receive application in person or by telephone for original or
additional service at any local office. Full information concerning such application
will be furnished. A security deposit may be required.

221. Customers or prospective customers should advise the Company of contemplated

installations as early as possible in order that details for furnishing service may be
worked out and necessary materials obtained. This will prevent delay so that
service may be established at the desired time.

222. It is necessary that applications show street numbers, lot and block number or
other means of locating the customer's premises and a corresponding
identification system be visibly installed at the customer's premises to aid the
Company in finding the proper location.

Alterations and Additions

223. When the Company connects a customer's facilities to its supply lines,
arrangements are made for meters, transformers and other equipment to match
the installation as it is at that time. It is essential that the customer or contractor
give notice to the Company of any large additions in load. It is desirable for them
to consult with the Company before adding such loads so that the Company's
equipment of the proper size will be provided. If the customer wishes to make any
alterations in his service or desires the relocation of any Company equipment or
facilities at any time following the establishment of his service, the customer must
notify the Company, obtain its approval and bear the entire cost of such changes.

Use of Service by Customer

224. To safeguard both the property of the customer and that of the Company, the
customer is cautioned against over sizing either the main fuses or those of branch
circuits by installing fuses or circuit breakers larger than approved by the National

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 10

 Electrical Code.

225. The customer's wiring and equipment are to be maintained by him in the condition
required by the insurance and governmental authorities having jurisdiction. The
customer will use the equipment and service in such a manner as not to disturb
the Company's service to other customers.

226. For reliable, quality service it is necessary that the wiring on all single phase three
wire installations be balanced so that the current will be, as nearly as possible, the
same in each load wire with the neutral wire carrying a minimum of current. In
installations, especially of a commercial type, where the single phase load is the
majority factor it is recommended that careful consideration be given to the use of
four wire WYE service, if available. Complete details of the advantages of this type
of service where applicable, can be obtained from the Company.

227. It is also necessary, for good service, that the customer must take action to
properly balance the load on each phase of all three-phase circuits.

Interruption of Service and Liability

228. The Company will endeavor to furnish continuous service but does not guarantee
uninterrupted service; is not liable for any damage which the customer may sustain
by reason of the loss of energy, or the loss of one or more phases; nor is the
Company liable for any damage due to reversal of phases; unless such reversal
occurs as a result of Company work; nor is the Company liable for damage that
may be incurred by the use of any service wiring, connections, instruments,
services or electrical appliances installed by or for the customer; nor is the
Company liable for damages that may be incurred due to the presence of the
Company's property on the customer's premises. If the customer requires three-
phase service, the installation and maintenance of adequate relays and circuit
breakers to protect against single-phase conditions, and phase reversal is
advisable and the installation and maintenance is the responsibility of the
customer. Further, the Company strongly recommends that ALL MOTORS
(INCLUDING SINGLE PHASE) BE PROVIDED OVERLOAD PROTECTIVE
DEVICES.

Grounding

229. Ground wires and ground rods installed in accordance with the requirements and
specifications of the latest approved edition of the National Electrical Code, or in

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 11

 accordance with the requirements of local authorities or other inspection agencies
having jurisdiction are minimum requirements for service entrance installations.

230. Minimum code grounding requirements are based on national average conditions.
Our service area experiences a higher than average level of lightning activity and
the customer’s equipment is subject to more probability of damage from this cause.
Although there is no known positive protection from the higher magnitude lightning
surges, the best grounding possible, within economic reason, as close to the
equipment as possible is the best protection.

231. An approved ground system and ground electrode system as specified in the latest
approved edition of the National Electrical Code shall be supplemented by
requirements of the Company and other authorities having jurisdiction. The
Company requires the customer to install a 5/8" by eight foot solid ground rod or
3/4" by eight foot galvanized iron pipe as a grounding electrode with a grounding
electrode conductor from the ground rod to the ground connection in the meter
base. The Company requires that the ground electrode system be electrically
bonded to other systems used as grounding electrode systems such as house
water system, underground piping system well casing, etc. The Company only
accepts copper grounding conductors in the meter bases. The Company suggests
that contractors advise customers of these requirements in order that they know
their importance.

232. The Company cannot allow the installation of foreign grounding conductors within
its pad-mounted switchgear and transformers or the attachment of foreign
grounding conductors to its grounds. Exception: bonding of above ground metallic
supply and communication enclosures that are separated by a distance of six feet
or less from our pad-mounted switchgear and transformers is acceptable.

Final Connections

233. THE COMPANY WILL MAKE ALL FINAL CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE
COMPANY’S MAINS AND THE CUSTOMER’S WIRING AND IT WILL NOT
PERMIT UNAUTHORIZED CONNECTIONS.

Inspections

234. The wiring and appliances of the customer should be installed and maintained in
accordance with and should conform to the requirements of the latest approved
editions of the National Electrical Code and to such state, county and municipal

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 12

 inspection requirements as may be in force at the time installation is made.

235. Where law requires inspection, the customer must have the wiring inspected and
approved by an authorized electrical inspector and have the installation released
for connection before the Company can make connection to its system. The
Company is prohibited by law from making service connections until a favorable
release is received.

236. In those areas served by the Company where an authorized electrical inspector's
final report is not mandatory by law, the Company shall have the right, but shall
not be obligated, to inspect any installation on the customer's premises before
electrical energy is supplied or at any later time, and reserves the right to reject
any wiring or appliance not installed in accordance with the Company's standard
requirements. Such inspection, or failure to inspect, or to reject, shall not render
the Company liable or responsible for any loss or damage resulting from defects
in the installation, wiring, or appliances or from violation of the Company's rules,
or from accidents which may occur upon the premises of consumer directly or
indirectly as the result of the connection of the electrical source. In case of
disagreement, the Company reserves the right to have such an inspection made
at its expense by a certified electrical inspector and favorable report rendered by
him before electrical service will be established.

237. CUSTOMERS SHOULD BEAR IN MIND THAT THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE

NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE ARE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS AND
SHOULD NOT OVERLOOK THE PROBABILITY THAT IN THE FUTURE THEY
WILL HAVE NEW OR ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT FOR WHICH MINIMUM
WIRING WILL BE INADEQUATE (SEE SECTION 6).

Meter Tampering, Seals and Fraudulent Use

238. After the customer has applied for and/or received service from the electrical utility,
he shall make every reasonable effort to prevent tampering with the meter and
service drop/service lateral serving his premises. A customer shall notify the
Company as soon as possible, of any tampering with, damage to, or removal of
any equipment.

TAMPERING WITH METERS OR WITH CONDUCTORS CARRYING

UNMETERED CURRENT AND UNAUTHORIZED BREAKING OF UTILITY'S
SEALS IS PROHIBITED BY LAW AND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED BY THE
COMPANY. THE COMPANY MAY DISCONTINUE SERVICE IF THE METER,

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 13

 CONDUCTORS OR SEALS HAVE BEEN TAMPERED WITH.

239. Any form of meter tampering and/or fraudulent use may be cause to take one or
more of the following actions against the customer:

● Terminate the service.

● Charge the customer for unauthorized energy use.
● Charge the customer for damage to Company equipment.
● Prosecute the customer for violation of state law.

240. SOUTH CAROLINA STATE LAW PROVIDES FOR FINES OF UP TO $10,000

AND/OR IMPRISONMENT UP TO 10 YEARS FOR METERING TAMPERING OR
FRAUDULENT USE OF ELECTRICITY.

Section 3: Overhead Service
General

301. An "Overhead Service" is the complete wiring system from the Company's
overhead distribution lines to a building including the customer's service entrance
wiring and service equipment. The "service conductor" is the overhead conductors
from the Company's distribution lines to the building. The "service entrance
conductors" are those conductors installed by and at the expense of the customer
between the point of attachment of the "service conductors" to the customer's
building and the customer's "service equipment" within or on the building.

302. If, in order to comply with requirements of governmental agencies, it becomes

necessary for the Company to make changes in the location of its equipment or to
change the character of its service, the customer will, at his expense, make such
changes in his wiring, service entrance and utilization equipment as are necessary.

Service Conductors – Attachment Point

303. In order to avoid errors, the customer, architect, or contractor must obtain from the
Company the location of the point of attachment on the building of the Company's
service conductors. Upon inquiry by the customer, the Company will as far as
practicable designate a location for service conductors and their point of
attachment to the building that is mutually acceptable. The Company will assume
no responsibility to change the location of its service conductor attachments if an
improper location is chosen without consultation with the Company or if the
mutually accepted location is not utilized. If in the opinion of the Company there
is a reasonable appropriate location on a building where the Company's service
conductors can be attached by running them from an existing pole, and the
customer wants another pole set for his convenience or desire, the customer shall
pay the cost thereof and such extra facilities will become the property of the

Service Entrance General

304. The point of attachment should not be more than 30 feet above ground unless a
greater height is required to obtain the proper clearance. WHERE THE DESIGN
OF THE BUILDING WILL NOT PERMIT THE ABOVE-MENTIONED
CLEARANCES, SOME TYPE OF SERVICE STRUCTURE SATISFACTORY TO
THE COMPANY MUST BE PROVIDED BY THE CUSTOMER TO OBTAIN

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 15

 THESE CLEARANCES. Pictures showing suggested methods for providing
required clearances are included in the appendix. In all cases the above
clearances must be in compliance with the latest approved National Electrical
Safety Code and municipality restrictions. The contractor shall obtain clearance
requirements from the Company.

305. The point selected for the attachment of the overhead service conductors shall be
located so that it is not necessary to install more than one set of wire attachments
on the customer's building. The attachment point shall not be closer than three
feet to the side of any window, awning, porch, fire escape or other parts of the
building, which are readily accessible to persons. The point of the attachment
should not be located above uncovered porches, platforms, oil tanks or other
elevated projections unless a clearance of 10 feet above such projections is
maintained (for voltages of not more than 150 volts to ground). In all cases,
clearances shall comply with latest approved edition of the National Electrical
Safety Code.

306. Safe and adequate anchoring structures for the Company's service conductors are
required of the customer, and in no case will the Company be responsible for the
condition of any customer's building or structure to which service wires are
attached or have been attached. Where mast services are required for attaching
service conductors, rigid galvanized iron conduit must be used and fastened with
a minimum of two - two hole straps attached with toggle bolts. Couplings are not
allowed above the top strap. (Other types of conduit are not acceptable).

307. The Company will furnish and the customer will install service drop attachment
fittings on all buildings requiring overhead service. The point of attachment shall
be suitable to hold the strain of the attachment secondary conductors. Where
anchor bolts are required they shall be 5/8 inch galvanized. These bolts must be
installed in a structural member of the building. A washer not less than 1/8 inch
thick and two inches square must be installed under the head of each bolt. The
threaded portions of the bolts are to project at least two inches beyond the outer
surface of the building wall. Secondary conductors to be a maximum 125' in
length. Service attachment points shall be able to support 1,000 pounds of
tension.

Service Entrance Conductors

308. The service entrance conductors may consist of continuous lengths of multi-
conductor cable approved for the purpose or of individual conductors installed in

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 16

 an approved raceway. It is permissible to use an un-insulated neutral wire in
conduit provided that the un-insulated conductor and raceway metals are
compatible, or service entrance cable provided with an un-insulated neutral wire in
conduit, or service entrance cable provided with an un-insulated neutral conductor.
The use of service entrance cable is prohibited in certain areas by local authorities
and contractors should determine prior to making such installations, if service
entrance cable is approved for use. SERVICE ENTRANCE CABLE (IF
APPROVED FOR USE) AND CONDUITS SHALL NOT BE CONCEALED
BETWEEN THE WEATHERHEAD AND THE METER.

309. In order to prevent moisture from entering the raceway of service entrance
conductors or service cables, it is advisable to terminate them on an outside
building wall at a point approximately six inches above the point of attachment of
the highest service conductor so that the individual service entrance conductors
will extend downward to the points where connections are made to the service
conductors. These features make advisable the use of an approved fitting
(weather head) at the outer end of the service conductors, which permits the
conductors to extend downward only. When it is impossible to locate the
termination of service entrance conductors or service cable above the point of
attachments of the service conductors, a drip loop must be formed with the service
entrance conductors as they are connected to the service conductors. For
complete details see latest approved edition of National Electrical Code.

310. The location of the service entrance weather head shall be close enough to the
point of attachment of the overhead service conductors so that wires extending out
of the weather head can be connected to the overhead service conductors without
splicing. The side clearances shall be the same as those required for the overhead
service conductors.

311. Each conductor of the service entrance shall extend no less than two feet beyond
the weather head for wires smaller than 1/0 and not less than three feet for wires
of number 1/0 and larger to provide sufficient length for connection to the overhead
service conductors. Where drip loops are required these conductors shall be
further extended sufficiently to permit the bottom of the loops to project at least
eight inches below the weather head.

312. To protect the service entrance conductors and prevent the entrance of moisture,
all conduit and fittings used in the service entrance raceway are to be made rain-
tight. Also, rain-tight fittings shall be used on service entrance cable at all points
of connection between cable and meter sockets or other outdoor service

 equipment.

313. Where conduit is used, fittings with removable covers in the service conduit ahead
of the meter are prohibited except in very special cases and then only with prior
approval of the Company. If they are permitted, they cannot be concealed and
approved lockable or sealable cover types must be used.

314. In general, where no accessible common meter location is available for buildings,
such as duplex houses, apartment buildings, etc., separate sets of service
entrance conductors must be brought out to a common point on the building wall
to be connected to a single service drop.

315. Wires carrying metered energy are not to be located in the same raceway with
wires carrying un-metered energy.

316. All service entrance conductors must be of sufficient size to conform to the rated
ampacity of the service entrance equipment and also of sufficient size to provide
for reasonable future load increases.

317. Refer to the latest edition of the NEC to determine the correct service entrance
size and allowable number of conductors in conduit. The Company strongly
recommends that service entrance conductors smaller than #2 copper or #1
aluminum not be used. Further, the Company recommends that all single-phase
service be a minimum of three wire 100 amperes.

318. It is required that the neutral conductor of the service entrance wiring be plainly
identified. Bare or substantially white insulated wires are sufficient identification.
It is further required that on a 4 wire three phase Delta service the conductor having
the highest voltage to ground (high-leg) be connected to the center position (B
phase) of the customer's main line switch and to the line and load terminals on the
right hand side of the meter socket (Note: Prior to 1975 the NEC did not specify
the location of the "high-leg"; therefore, the customer should take all necessary
precautions to properly identify the "high-leg by marking its location orange"). This
conductor is to be identified at all connection points including weather head, meter
socket, and main switch.

Section 4: Underground Service
General

401. The Company’s standard method of service is overhead. Underground service is

available to individual customers as well as developments provided certain
required conditions are satisfied. WHENEVER UNDERGROUND SERVICE IS
DESIRED, THE CUSTOMER MUST CONTACT THE COMPANY
REPRESENTATIVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

For commercial underground services, see the Underground Commercial Electric

Service booklet.

For residential underground services in underground subdivisions, see the

Underground Residential Electrical Service for New Developments booklet.

402. For all underground services the Company, as far as practicable, will designate a
location for the service point to the building or in some cases a service point remote
from the building to which the customer must bring his service conductors. The
Company will assume no responsibility for changing the location of the service
conductor if an improper location is chosen without consultation with the Company
or if the previously designated location is not utilized.

403. If, in order to comply with requirements of governmental agencies, it becomes

necessary for the Company to make changes in the location of its equipment or to
change the character of its service, the customer will, at his expense, make such
changes in his wiring, service entrance and utilization equipment as are necessary.

Service Entrance Conductors

404. In general where no accessible common meter location is available for buildings
such as duplex houses, apartment buildings, etc. separate sets of service entrance
conductors must be brought out to a common point on the building wall to be
connected to a single service lateral.

405. Wires carrying metered energy are not to be located in the same raceway with
wires carrying un-metered energy.

406. All service entrance conductors must be of sufficient size to conform to the rated
ampacity of the service entrance equipment and also of sufficient size to provide

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 19

 for reasonable future load increases.

407. It is required that the neutral conductor of the service entrance wires be plainly
identified. Bare or substantially white insulated wires are sufficient identification.

Underground Service in Overhead Districts

408. Company supplies standard overhead service to the customer. When underground
service is desired, customers should contact the local Company office and obtain
information as to what type of service is available or can be supplied.

For commercial underground services, see the Underground Commercial Electric

Service booklet.

For residential underground services in underground subdivisions, see the

Underground Residential Electrical Service for New Developments booklet.

409. The following rules apply for residential underground services fed from overhead
supply hereafter referred to as “hybrid services”.

a. Customer should contact local Company office and obtain information as to

whether a new hybrid service or conversion from overhead service to hybrid
service is available. This is determined on a case-by-case basis due to differing
field conditions.

b. If Company determines location is suitable for a hybrid service, the customer is

responsible for all costs associated with installation of or conversion to a hybrid
service. This would include installing the below grade conduit, the riser conduit
on the pole, and the meter socket or conversion of the meter socket to accept
underground service.

c. For new hybrid services - The customer will pay in advance the difference
between the estimated cost of the hybrid and the estimated cost of a new
overhead service of the same current carrying capacity.

d. For conversion from overhead to hybrid - The customer will pay for the cost of
removing the overhead service and all costs associated with the installation of
the hybrid service.

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 20

410. The customer must have further special permission to install a meter on the
Company's pole and if at any time it becomes necessary for the Company to
change the location of a pole upon which an underground service terminates, the
necessary changes in the service will be made at the customer’s expense.

411. Recommendations for the installation of underground services are shown on

drawings in the appendix.

Underground Services from Underground Distribution

412. As previously explained, the details of service from underground distribution are
more fully explained in the Company's Residential and Commercial Underground
Booklets. These booklets specifically and individually provide details for single-
family dwellings, apartments, condominiums, mobile homes, and commercial
customers.

Underground Services in Underground Network Area

413. In certain prescribed districts or streets where the Company maintains an

underground network system, underground services will be installed. Metering
could be self-contained or instrument rated, see sections 527, 528, 541, and 542
to determine type metering. Note: Please confirm the type of metering equipment
required with Company Meter Department for each job. Technological advances
result in constant changes for metering equipment. Customers should request
short circuit current values from the Company prior to proceeding with plans for
underground service.

414. Locating metering equipment in underground network areas is handled on a case-

by-case basis due to the unique nature of these situations. Please contact
Company Meter Department to determine proper location and application of
metering equipment.

415. In some cases it is impossible for the Company to determine in advance the exact
location at which service entrance conductors will enter a building on account of
possible interference from obstacles in the street. Because of this uncertainty, the
installation of the customer's service entrance equipment should not be made until
after the Company has completed the layout of the service entrance raceway into
the building, or until definite arrangements have been made with the Company.

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 21

416. The use of properly rated standard service equipment is required for all
underground service installations. Due to the difficulty involved in later increasing
the size of underground installations to provide for increased loads, it is especially
important that they be made large enough for the expected future increase in load.
This is particularly advisable with respect to underground raceways. Service
entrance equipment shall not be installed in any location that is likely to become
obstructed or inaccessible, and should be installed in location, which will not be
used for any other purposes. Conductors shall be in accordance with code
requirements for this type of application. Meter installations and the preparation
for them shall be in accordance with the type of service required as shown in
Section 5 of this manual.

Section 5: Meter Installations
General Requirements

501. Many types of metering installations are required to adequately register the sale of
electricity to customers. Factors such as voltage, load, rates, phase connectors,
and location are involved. THE COMPANY MUST, THEREFORE, RESERVE
FOR ITSELF THE ENTIRE DECISION AS TO HOW, WHERE, AND WHAT TYPE
OF EQUIPMENT IS TO BE INSTALLED. The Company will, as far as practicable,
cooperate with contractors and customers as to the location and feasibility of
installations in accordance with the desires of the customer.

502. Some types of installations are so familiar to contractors that customers may
depend on them to make installations which meet Company requirements without
consultation with the Company, but if this is done it in no way obligates the
Company to relinquish any of the decisions reserved for itself in these
specifications.

503. In general, all meters and metering equipment at secondary voltages must be
installed on the source side of customer's service entrance and/or service entrance
equipment, i.e., main disconnect, unless otherwise instructed by the Company or
the Company gives permission. On all new or existing installations that are to be
rearranged in any way that affects the customer's service entrance and/or service
entrance equipment, i.e., meter disconnect, standard meter socket and/or
instrument transformer cabinet shall be installed.

504. In Section 9 there are drawings and pictures that may be used as a guide for the
installation of typical jobs, after proper consultation with, and approval of the
Company. All of the rules in the text of this section, however, are to be considered
as supplementing them and considered a part thereof.

505. THE COMPANY REQUESTS THAT ELECTRICIANS AND ELECTRICAL

CONTRACTORS PLACE A STICKER WITH THEIR NAMES, ADDRESSES, AND
TELEPHONE NUMBERS ON EACH INSTALLATION, PREFERABLY ON THE
SERVICE EQUIPMENT CABINET. THIS WILL FACILITATE COOPERATION
BETWEEN THE COMPANY, CUSTOMER AND CONTRACTOR.

506. A guide listing the most common items involved in metering is shown in the
following table. This table also shows who is responsible for furnishing, installing
and maintaining the equipment. The Company reserves the right to determine

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 23

 appropriate metering method for each installation. Contact the Company to
determine metering method before ordering any equipment. Contact Company
Meter Department for any non- standard applications – aid to construction may be
required.

Meter Location General

507. The preferred location for meters is outdoors. This is a definite requirement for all
residences and small commercial buildings. (See paragraph 522 on Grouped
Installations). When any customer, falling in the above category, who has his
meter installation indoors, makes any change involving his service entrance
equipment or meter installation, he must make the necessary revision in his wiring
to provide for the meter to be moved outdoors.

508. Meters for large commercial customers or others in congested areas may be
indoors or outdoors as specified by the Company.

509. If, after the Company's portion of the work involved in a meter installation is
completed, the customer desires the meter to be relocated for his convenience and
the Company approves the relocation, the customer will bear all costs involved.

Meters Located Outdoors

510. Meters installed outdoors shall be located in places readily accessible to

authorized Company representatives for installation, maintenance, reading, or
removal. For multiple occupancy buildings with multiple meters, meter sockets
must be plainly and permanently marked to indicate the area served (see
paragraph 524 for marking requirements).

511. Meters shall not have any type structure, plant or other encumbrance within a
three-foot radius of the meter face. Meters shall not be installed where the
Company's meter readers or service people may inadvertently damage flower
beds or shrubbery or where it will be necessary for them to climb over fences or
other obstructions to read or service the meters, or in locations where they may be
accidentally damaged such as on buildings where they will extend unguarded into
stairways, alleys, walkways, or driveways. They shall not be installed on walls or
in areas subject to severe vibration, nor on porches, carports, breezeways, or any
location likely to be enclosed in the future. They shall not be installed over or under
fuel oil drums, nor close enough to such drums as to prohibit free access to the
meters. They shall not be installed under roof valleys of buildings with eaves less
than 12 inches in width. Meters must be installed on the building where there is
sufficient structural integrity to provide a mounting for the metering equipment. The
customer may be required to provide additional structural integrity if deemed
necessary by the Company.

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 25

Meters Located Indoors

512. The Company will not install meters indoors except in unusual circumstances. In
the event no outdoor location is feasible, the details for the location of the indoor
meters must be pre-approved by the Company.

513. Each meter located in an individual area in multiple occupancy buildings must be
served by a separate set of conductors in a separate raceway from the point on
the outside of the building where the service drop is attached. Meters located in a
common area serving two or more occupants of the same building may be served
by a single set of service entrance conductors.

514. Meters should preferably be located on the first floor of multi-story buildings, but
may be located in basements or other floors provided all other requirements of
these rules and the rules for mounting and group installations are met. Meters
shall be located in basements only when the ceilings are normal room height and
it is provided with a regular stairway, which is opened or closed with a standard
doorway.

515. Meters shall not have any type structure, plant or other encumbrance within a
three-foot radius of the meter face. Meters must be located in areas where they
will be readily accessible to Company personnel for installation, maintenance,
reading, testing, inspection or removal.

516. Meters must not be located in areas enclosed by trap doors or panels, or on lattices
or in coal or wood bins, in sheds, attics, bedrooms, bathrooms, toilet rooms,
restaurant kitchens, stairways, ventilating or elevator shafts. They must not be
located in areas where there is excessive vibration or dampness. They shall not
be installed in furnace or boiler rooms except by special permission of the
Company. Meters must not be installed near belts or other moving machinery that
would endanger the safety of those doing work near or on the meter. Meters
should not be installed in any place where unnecessary inconvenience will be
caused to either the customer or the Company in the performance of its regular
duties on customer's premises.

517. Rooms allocated for use of meters should not be used for any other purpose. At
least three feet of clear space must be maintained in front of meter installations

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 26

Mounting of Meters

518. Outdoor meters shall be mounted so that the center of the meter shall be not more
than 72 inches and not less than 54 inches (42 inches for ganged) above finished
grade level. Ganged meters installed in meter rooms shall be mounted so that the
center of the meter shall be not more than 72 inches and not less than 42 inches
above floor level.

519. It is necessary that the socket be carefully and rigidly mounted so that the plane of
the front of the socket will be vertical and so that the meters when mounted on the
sockets will be in a true vertical position.

520. For fastening equipment and fittings to buildings with wood outside finish, use only
screws made of non-corrosive material of adequate strength. For brick, tile or
other types of masonry buildings, use only expansion shields, lead anchors or
inserts equipped with galvanized steel machine screws.

521. Some typical layouts are included in Section 9 of this booklet, but the company
should always be consulted for details on any particular job.

Grouped Meters

522. Grouped installations at the Customer's option may be made by using "pre-
bussed" multi- position units in which the service entrance conductors are
connected in the wiring compartment (see appendix). Grouped installations shall
be “ringless” in design. In selecting the appropriate method, the requirements of
the local authority enforcing code requirements must be considered.

523. Grouped installations of meters are special situations generally requiring special
methods and equipment. Prior approval with the Company is required before any
layouts are made or equipment is specified for job.

524. It is required that each meter socket in grouped installations be plainly and
permanently marked (on the inside of the meter socket and outside on the meter
socket cover) to indicate the area served by each. This rule applies whether meters
are installed indoors or outdoors, and whether or not the meters are ganged or
individually served from a common service entrance raceway.

An approved method of permanently stenciling the meter sockets with enamel

paint for proper identification in all installations is to be adhered to. Markings must

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 27

 not be made on the meters themselves. Buildings with an appreciable number of
apartments or other occupancies are usually numbered or lettered. If so, such
designation may be used, if not, some other concise identification should be used
such as:

"Corner store" "Second floor N.E. corner office"

"Middle store" "Upstairs rear apartment"
"West end store" "Third floor east center apartment"

This rule also applies to duplex residences or single residences converted into two
or more apartments, or a combination of residence and/or stores or offices. When
any occupancy is so marked the customer desiring service in such space must
provide this information when applying for service.

Meter Wiring

525. There are two basic types of meter wiring regardless of whether the installation is
single or three phase. One type is where the customer's service entrance
conductors are connected to the meter socket terminals, and is known as a self-
contained metering installation. With the other type the customer's service
entrance conductors pass through or are connected to instrument transformers,
and only the secondary wires from the instrument transformers are connected to
the meter socket terminals. This is known as an instrument transformer metering
installation. All service conductors (including the neutral) shall be terminated in
the self-contained meter socket. All service conductors (including the neutral) shall
pass through the instrument transformer cabinet.

526. When Company furnishes and installs residential underground service in approved
underground areas, the Company will make connections on the line side of the
meter socket and the customer will make connections on the load side of the meter
socket.

527. The majority of metering installations are self-contained. Instrument transformer

installations are required for larger loads and for 277/480 volt services greater than
200 amps. All 277/480 volt 200 amp services will be self-contained. The Company
will supply the 277/480 volt self-contained meter socket with integrated disconnect
(the integrated disconnect if for Company use only) and the Customer will install
the meter socket for these services. See "Metering Equipment Guide" for the
various sizes and types of installations on page 24.

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 28

528. All new self-contained installations will be the ringless socket type. The customer
will furnish and install the meter socket, which must be UL approved and should
be sized to accommodate conductor sizes up to 600 amps. Source conductors
shall always be terminated in the top side of the meter, and all service conductors
(including the neutral) shall be terminated in the meter socket. When required,
201-600 ampere, 120/240 volt, self contained, single phase and polyphase meters
are available (these are used for 120/208 and 120/240 volt services). To
accommodate 201-600 ampere self-contained metering, the appropriate size and
number of conductors shall be used.

529. Meter sockets are also required for instrument transformer installations. Sockets
for instrument transformer meters will be mounted by the customer, except on
pole-mounted and pad-mounted transformer installations.

530. All wiring in residential self-contained meter sockets is completed by the

customer's electrician except in underground areas where the Company makes
the line side connections.

531. Instrument transformer installations in instrument transformer cabinets (approved

by the Company) must be coordinated between the customer and the Company to
complete the installation. The through (or window) type instrument transformer is
furnished by the Company instead of the bar type, in which case the customer and
the company must cooperate in the installation to avoid cutting the service
entrance conductors. All secondary wiring from the instrument transformer to the
meter location (approved by the Company) is furnished and installed by the
Company. The customer will furnish and install a one inch EMT or galvanized iron
conduit from the transformer cabinet to the meter location. The conduit run
installed by the customer shall be as short as possible and not to exceed 50 feet
in length. The Company requires that all meters be located outdoors and the
Company shall be consulted on all metering installations involving instrument
transformers. Meters located at other designated locations and/or indoors are only
allowed in unusual circumstances. In the event no outdoor location is feasible, the
details for the location of the instrument transformers and metering must be pre-
approved by the Company.

532. In self-contained installations, no wiring except the service entrance conductors

and grounding conductors may pass through the meter socket. In indoor
instrument transformer installations, no wiring may pass through the instrument
transformer cabinet except the service entrance and grounding conductors. No
wiring may pass through the instrument transformer meter socket except that

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 29

 installed by the Company. Only Company owned equipment is allowed in the
meter socket.

533. All service entrance equipment, including wiring troughs, pedestals, and/or
raceways, containing un-metered wires shall be of the sealable type.

534. It is required that the high voltage leg and neutral of four wire delta service entrance
conductors be identified in each box, cabinet, switch or trough through which they
pass. They shall be identified at the entrance weather head. Neutral or grounding
conductors of any system must be readily identifiable. Gray or white wire is
sufficient identification for neutral conductor. Bare, green or green with yellow
stripe is sufficient for grounding conductor. Orange will be used to identify the
"high leg".

535. The line side high voltage leg of a delta system should always be attached to the
top right terminal in meter sockets. The load side high voltage leg of a delta system
should be connected to the bottom right terminal in meter sockets.

536. In instrument transformer installations where it is not practical to use window type
transformers or instrument transformer cabinets, the transformers may be
mounted in a bus structure provided they are readily accessible to authorized
Company representatives for checking, testing, and replacement. However,
before such installation is made, the Company should be consulted regarding the
location of the meter and facilities required.

Freestanding Switchboards

537. Where the customer's installation is of the switchboard type, and the Company
desires it, meters and metering devices of the switchboard type will be used and
mounted on an approved panel furnished by the consumer. This panel or panels
will be reserved exclusively for the metering equipment.

538. The Company will supply necessary information to the customer for the fabrication
of switchgear in which instrument transformers are to be installed. The Company
will furnish the instrument transformers for the customer to install. The Company
will install the instrument transformer secondary wiring after all service entrance
equipment is installed.

539. Freestanding panels provided for meter installations are to have at least three feet
clear space in the back and front from any permanently installed obstruction.

540. All such installations shall be considered special and arrangements made with the
Company well in advance of the need.

Additional Notes on Metering Facilities

541. Self-contained installations may be specified on loads not expected to be in excess

of 600 ampere, 277 volts or less. If the customer's service entrance equipment
and conductors are appreciably larger than the initial load, the self-contained
equipment as specified in the table may not apply. In this case, contact the
Company for special instructions. Commercial and industrial customers contact
the Company for requirements on demand meters. Connection diagrams of self-
contained and instrument types of metering installations are shown in Section 9.

542. Service at high voltages, above 480 volts, is subject to special negotiations
between the customer and the Company. Because the meter and service
installation for such service requires special engineering considerations, it is
always essential to consult the Company well in advance of the time such service
will be required. This will allow necessary time for the customer's and the
Company's design and construction to be properly coordinated and equipment
obtained.

Section 6: Service Equipment
Location

601. Customer service equipment locations are to be in accordance with the latest
approved edition of the National Electrical Code (local codes and other authorities
having jurisdiction) and should always be located in a readily accessible place as
close as practicable to the electrical load center and in a place not likely to become
obstructed by future alterations or cause inconvenience to the customers when it
becomes necessary to operate the equipment or renew fuses.

602. Consideration should be given to the location of branch circuit protection devices
on the same floor served by the circuits. The use of such sub-distribution centers
fed by suitable feeder circuits will result in short branch circuits and improved
service

Interrupting Capacity of Protecting Devices

603. The Company will, upon request, supply necessary information concerning
available fault current to enable the customer to determine the required interrupting
capacity of protective devices which are to be installed at any definite location on
the system. (This is of particular importance in network areas, or where the size
of the service is large.) While the Company will endeavor where possible to
anticipate system changes which may affect these values, it does not assume
responsibility or liability with respect to such protective devices, nor does the
Company guarantee their continuing adequacy against increased fault current
interrupting requirements resulting from system growth and changes.

Single Phase Service Equipment

604. The protective equipment installed, regardless of type, should be of such capacity
as to permit the full utilization of the capacity of the service entrance conductors
installed at the time of original installation and vice versa. This will tend to minimize
expensive reinstallation of service conductors or equipment as the load increases.
Automatic circuit breaker type service equipment is preferable in all cases and its
use is strongly recommended. It provides a means by which service may be
readily restored immediately and conveniently when interior trouble causes them
to operate.

605. Size of service entrance conductors and equipment shall have sufficient ampacity

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 32

 to carry the load as determined by latest approved edition of the National Electrical
Code.

606. Service entrance conductors shall be without splice except at the meter enclosure
where an approved bolted connection for copper wire and approved compression
connection for aluminum is permitted.

607. Unless otherwise required by local authority, a main disconnecting means is not
required for six circuits or less. If more than six circuits are needed, a main switch
must be provided, or the circuits grouped on sub-mains so that the total number of
disconnect mains to all circuits shall be six or less and located at the same place

Three Phase Service Equipment

608. Although fuse type equipment is acceptable, automatic circuit breakers are
preferred for this class of service because of the convenience in immediately
restoring service and the automatic interruption of all three phases supplying
power to the equipment when the circuit protection operates.

609. Three-phase service is usually required for industrial and large commercial
customers and requires special design considerations. The Company is available
for consultation for such services; however the customer should contact his
architect, engineer or electrical contractor as soon as possible.

610. Special contractual arrangements for the installation of three-phase service in

certain areas may apply and advance permission must be obtained. See Section
8.

Section 7: Transformer Vaults and Underground
Primary Services
Vaults General

701. This section is intended to cover only the major considerations of a highly
specialized type of service. This type of service is usually confined to serving one
large customer of commercial or industrial character and each installation will
present individual problems, which will have to be resolved by close coordination
between the customer, his representatives and the Company.

Customer service considerations often make it necessary to place transformers as

near the load as possible, sometimes in vaults constructed by the customer on his
premises. This is particularly true where the load is of considerable magnitude.
The Company will furnish the customer general guidelines and requirements for
vaults, when requested. Customers, architects and/or contractors will, therefore,
please consult the Company in regard to the necessity, location and requirements
for such transformer vaults before construction is started. The vault location plans
and details must be approved by the Company prior to construction.

702. Transformer vaults shall contain only the supply transformers and associated
equipment, and UNDER NO CONDITIONS are any meters or customer's
secondary fuses, switches, or other customer's equipment to be installed therein.
Secondary devices and meters, however, should be installed as near the
transformer vault as practicable.

703. The National Electrical Code provides specific design limitations for transformer
vaults in buildings. Always consult appropriate inspection authorities concerned
before planning or building transformer vaults. Building regulations are not
necessarily uniform.

Underground Primary Services

704. Underground Primary Services are to be considered special in all cases and
permission for such installations shall be obtained from the Company in advance.

705. Underground primary service will be provided only when overhead service is not
feasible, or when it is mutually advantageous to the Company and customer.

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 34

706. All customers desiring to receive energy at primary voltages, who will own their
own distribution facilities, or utilize service at primary voltages, and who desire
underground service shall furnish, install and maintain such service entrance
facilities.

Customers Vault

707. For customers who provide vaults or Company owned transformers that serve no
other customers and who receive service at secondary voltages (whether primary
metered or not) the Company will:

(1) Where the vault is adjacent to the street property line, furnish, install and
maintain the primary service entrance facilities.

(2) Where the vault is installed some distance from the street property line for the
customer's convenience or to reduce his secondary wiring costs, the Company
will furnish, install and maintain the primary raceway to the property line and
the customer shall furnish, install and maintain the primary raceway from the
street property line to the vault.

Section 8: Power and Special Equipment
Installations
Motors-General

801. The following requirements apply to all motors connected to the DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEMS of the Company.

802. The National Electrical Code provides that some motors less than one horsepower
and that all motors one horsepower and above be equipped with suitable starting
switches having overload protection.

803. Phase reversal, low voltage, high voltage, or loss of one or more phases can
damage motors. To protect motors from these conditions, it is recommended that
protective relays or devices be used to automatically disconnect motors from the
voltage supply. Such devices are installed and owned by the customer and are
his responsibility.

804. The use of automatic time-delay circuit breakers for circuit protection in all cases
is strongly recommended. Where fuses are used, they should always be of the
time-delayed type. The time-delayed will, in many instances, prevent unnecessary
shutdowns due to the tripping of an instantaneous type circuit breaker, or blowing
of ordinary short time fuses by larger currents resulting from motor starting,
temporary overloads or temporary low voltage conditions. These devices are
installed and owned by the customer and are his responsibility.

805. The Company reserves the right to specify voltage characteristics and starting
limitations of all motors in order to limit voltage fluctuation and disturbances to its
customers. The Company further reserves the right to specify whether it shall
supply single phase or three phase service to a customer in accordance with
service limitations as set forth in the Company's General Terms and Conditions,
and as in the following paragraphs.

Small Motors – 20 Horsepower and Below

806. Motors up to and including 1/2 horsepower may be operated at 120 volts or 240
volts but should be single phase, unless the customer already has three phase
service or municipality constraints require three-phase service.

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 36

807. Motors 3/4 hp to five horsepower must be operated at 240 volts and should be
single phase, unless the customer already has three phase service or municipality
constraints require three-phase service.

808. Motors above five horsepower must be operated at a minimum voltage level of 208
volts. The Company reserves the right to require these motors to be three-phase.

809. All motors up to and including 20 hp may be started across the line provided such
motors do not cause voltage fluctuations and disturbances to other customers.

810. It is intended that the application of single-phase motors permitted above,

generally follow the starting current rules recommended by the ANSI Committee.
Those rules, however, are written so that they are readily understood by motor
manufacturers but not necessarily by the user. The rules given above are written
so the user can readily understand them. They do not completely follow the ANSI
rules in all respects. Therefore, in any case where the customer or his motor
supplier can show proof that a particular motor or motors can be operated without
exceeding the limitations of ANSI rules, then the use of such motors will be
permitted.

811. The Company does not assume the responsibility for satisfactory operation of 220
to 250 volt three-phase classes of equipment on 120/208-volt WYE services. The
Company does not assume responsibility for satisfactory operation of 208 volt
WYE three-phase class of equipment used on 240 volt three phase services.

Large Motors – General Above 20 Horsepower

813. The Company is prepared to furnish to its customer’s assistance and advice where
new loads are to be added to the Company's lines. Before any motors are
installed, it is necessary to consult the Company in order to determine the
character and adequacy of the available service and the starting KVA limitations.
Existing customers who plan to add motors should also check with the Company.

814. Full voltage starting is the simplest and lowest cost method of starting. Other types
of starting that reduce the starting KVA are more expensive, but may be required
by the Company to prevent disturbances to other customers connected to the
distribution system. Also, for his benefit the customer may want to install reduced
KVA starting equipment to eliminate mechanical shock to the motor as well as
prevent disturbances to his other equipment.

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 37

815. The factors which must be considered before starting KVA limitations can be
provided to the customer are the capacity of the Company's distribution system,
which varies from location to location, the motor characteristics, and the number
of times the motor is to be started which may vary on a daily basis.

Motor Starting Requirements Above 20 Horsepower to 100

816. As outlined in paragraph 814, motors may or may not need reduced KVA starting
equipment and BEFORE PURCHASING A MOTOR, the customer must:

(1) Check with the Company to determine KVA starting limitations.

(2) Consult the motor manufacturer so that the best motor and starter suited for
the job is purchased.

817. The following are guidelines that the Company will use in determining the
acceptability of large motors.

(1) Generally motors 25 through 40 horsepower will be required to have reduced

KVA starting equipment that will limit in rush current to 65 percent of locked
rotor current.

(2) Generally motors 50 through 100 horsepower will be required to have reduced
KVA starting equipment that will limit inrush current to 33 and one-third percent
of locked rotor current.

(3) Motors must reach at least 85 percent synchronous speed before switching to
"run" position.

NOTE: Locked rotor current is generally defined as six times full load current.

Motors Above 100 Horsepower

818. Reduced KVA starting equipment is usually required and all cases shall be
submitted to the Company for approval prior to purchasing.

NOTES TO MOTOR STARTING REQUIREMENTS

819. There are many different types of starting equipment and it is important that the
customer contact the manufacturer so that motor and starter are properly matched,

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 38

 which will insure minimum installation and operating costs.

820. Starting equipment other than the types listed in Tables 1 and 2 may meet the
Company's starting requirements but the customer must establish proof of this
before the Company will give its approval. Customers are advised that it is very
difficult to establish such proof unless the motor supplier is the same as the driven
equipment supplier. Customers who purchase motors from one source and driven
equipment from another source quite often encounter difficulties in placing
responsibility for any problems that might arise. Therefore, it is again advised that
before purchasing a motor the customer should check carefully with the
manufacturer to insure that the best motor and starter for the job is purchased and
the torque requirements of the load are matched with the motor torque output.
Eighty-five percent synchronous speed should be obtained prior to switching from
"start" to "run". This will minimize "bump" in current during the transition from
"start" to "run" and will lengthen the life of the motor and starting equipment.

821. On many applications, motors will have to be started unloaded in order to meet the
starting requirements imposed by the Company. For example: LARGE
REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT must be brought to rated speed unloaded.
HAMMER MILLS under no circumstances shall be loaded during starting. Even
when unloaded, hammer mills require excessive starting power and should be
given extra considerations.

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 40

822. WHERE MOTORS MUST BE START LOADED as in the case of direct drives,
conveyors, cotton gins, etc., the squirrel cage or increment type motors may not
meet the starting requirements shown above. Wound rotor motors and controls (or
other special equipment) may be necessary to meet the requirements.

823. THE GUIDES SHOWN HEREIN FOR LARGE MOTORS ARE GENERAL FOR
THE AVERAGE COMMERCIAL AREA. SPARSELY SETTLED AREAS,
RESIDENTIAL SECTIONS, AND AREAS ADJACENT TO HOSPITALS,
COMPUTER CENTERS, RADIO STATIONS, AND OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH
CRITICAL VOLTAGE EQUIPMENT, MAY REQUIRE MORE STRINGENT
RULES.

824. Industrial customers with their own substations or other customers in concentrated
industrial areas may be permitted to waive these rules upon approval by the
Company.

Special Equipment

825. The customer should maintain his power factor as near unity as possible. A good
power factor could result in a reduction of monthly billing and may permit the
reduction of conductor and equipment sizes. Where large capacity motors are to
be installed, consideration should be given to the use of synchronous type
equipment.

826. The Company will serve no gaseous tube or other types of lighting equipment if
the power factor is less than that of present available high power factor equipment.
If power factor corrective equipment is made necessary by this specification, it will
be provided and maintained by the customer at his own expense. This applies to
all new installations and any changes in existing installations.

827. In general, capacitors must be applied more carefully than most types of electrical
equipment in order that satisfactory operation and maintenance will result. The
customer should confer with the Company before any installations of this type of
equipment are made.

828. Some other items of equipment which require special consideration for proper
operations are:

Welders and furnaces Hammer Mills

X-ray Large Compressors

Standard Service Characteristics

The following Service Characteristics are generally standard. The Characteristics of Service
that are available shall be obtained from the Company before any wiring is installed or
equipment purchased. In cases of multiple occupancy installations, the combined load may
be such that the Characteristics of the Service required will be different from that which the
individual customer's loads might indicate. In such cases the Company reserves the right to
determine the type of service, which will be supplied. (Contact your local office or Customer
Service Engineering if you need assistance).

A. 120 volts, single phase, two wire

For highway signs, travel trailers, traffic controllers, CATV amplifiers or other small power
loads. The service from the Company's facilities up to, and including, the meter shall be a
120/240 volt, single phase, three wire circuit. Company approval must always be obtained
in advance.

B. 120/240 volts, single phase, three wire

For general lighting and/or heating and cooking, and small power loads with individual
motors generally not over 5 hp. Where the total load exceeds 50 KVA, the Company may,
at its option, require the customer to arrange the wiring for three phase service.

C. 120/208 volts, single phase, three wire (from four-wire system)

For general lighting, heating, cooking and small power loads with motors generally not over
5 hp. Where the total load exceeds 50 KVA, the Company may, at its option, require the
customer to arrange the wiring for three-phase four wire service.

D. 120/208 volts, three phase, four wire, wye

For large lighting loads, or combination lighting, heating/cooling and power. Single phase
load shall be balanced between phases.

E. 120/240 volts, three phase, four wire, delta

For combination 120/240 volts, three wire, single phase and 240 volts, three-phase service,
where the load of either class substantially exceeds that to the other.

© Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc. 2019 44

F. 277/480 volts, three phase, four wire, wye

For power and general service installations having demands of not less than 30 KVA

G. 480 volts, three phase, three wire

Normally, for power installations having demands of not less than 30 KVA.

H. Service voltages higher than 480 volts are available only by negotiation with the
Company. The size and type of customer's load must warrant such an installation.

I. The Company’s standard method of providing three phase service is four wire wye.
The customer must take the neutral to their service equipment. The Company will
not make provisions in its equipment to accommodate a customer’s impedance
grounded system. Any such equipment will have to be installed on the customer’s
side of the installation
