This edition of the Six-State <strong>Electric</strong> <strong>Service</strong> <strong>Requirements</strong> manual supersedes all previous editions.<br />
The publication date of this manual is January 7, <strong>2011</strong>. The requirements in this<br />
publication will be enforced on any installation made after April 1, <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
The purpose of this manual is to clarify electric service requirements for <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Power</strong> and<br />
Rocky Mountain <strong>Power</strong> customers and contractors prior to and during construction. This manual<br />
may require different electrical equipment than was previously used in <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Power</strong> and Rocky<br />
Mountain <strong>Power</strong> service areas.<br />
This manual has been updated to comply with the National <strong>Electric</strong> Safety Code (NESC), the<br />
National <strong>Electric</strong>al Code (NEC), and the <strong>Electric</strong> Utility <strong>Service</strong> Equipment <strong>Requirements</strong><br />
Committee (EUSERC). EUSERC is a voluntary organization (of which <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Power</strong> and Rocky<br />
Mountain <strong>Power</strong> are members) which strives to standardize electric utility requirements.<br />
Revisions to this publication since November 30, 2006, are marked with black revision bars.<br />
