These Electric Service Requirements may change if governing codes, ordinances, or tariffs change. If a requirement in this manual conflicts with an applicable tariff, code, or ordinance, then other Power Company standards shall be used to design a solution that meets (or exceeds) the minimum requirements of the tariff, code, or ordinance. The Power Company will provide the standards, and should be consulted with questions on the applicability of any item in this manual. 1.5 Maximum Available Fault Current The customer shall furnish equipment to withstand bolted fault currents.

Planned disconnects are normally scheduled 48 hours in advance. 1.9 Grounding and Bonding Grounding and bonding is critical for safety and electrical reliability.
