Electric Service Reqs

Note- 1: The customer shall provide and install a manual load break switch that provides a clear indication of the switch position at the Point of Interconnection to provide separation between the FELPS electrical system and the customer's electrical generation system. The connections shall be labeled FELPS and Solar both inside and outside of the box identifying where the connection comes from. The location of the disconnect switch must be approved by FELPS. The disconnect switch shall be easily visible, mounted separately from metering equipment, readily accessible to FELPS personnel at all times, and capable of being locked in the open position with a FELPS padlock.

Note-2: The location of the fused disconnect or breaker boxes must be approved by FELPS. The disconnect or breaker boxes shall be easily visible, readily accessible to FELPS personnel at all times, and capable of being locked open in a way that would protect FELPS personnel from accidental closing and re-energizing of the system while work is being done by FELPS personnel in the area.
