regarding voltage ability at any particular location. When
Customer's load requirements are greater than the maximum listed below,
TCED will supply additional or other facilities at the same location.
These additional facilities (at TCED's option) may be
considered 'excess facilities'.

- Single
Phase
Appliances or devices with a rating of greater than 20
amps shall be connected at 240 volts.
Single phase motors up to but not exceeding 10 Horsepower
may be connected to a single phase "lighting service" under the
following conditions:
- Single phase motors not in excess of 3/4 horsepower may
be wound for 120 or 240 volts and may be operated from a lighting
branch circuit.
- Single phase motors, 1 Horsepower to 10 Horsepower
inclusive, must be wound for 240 volts, be connected across the 240
volt legs of a 120/240 volts, 3 wire service, and be operated from a
branch circuit separate from any lighting.
- Upon approval by TCED, single phase service will be
made available to a phase converter where system conditions permit and
where the name plate rating of the largest three phase motor does not
exceed 50 Horsepower and where the combined nameplate ratings of all
three phase motors does not exceed 75 Horsepower.
- Service to any intermittent or highly fluctuating loads
must be reviewed and approved by TCED prior to the installation of such
equipment. Approval for installation does not relive the Customer
of responsibility for conditions that cause a deterioration in the
quality of service either on the Customer's Premises or on another
Customer's Premises which is connected to the same electrical
system. TCED reserves the right to disconnect any services which
are impacting quality of service conditions for
other Customers. This includes Customers whose connected
equipment is generating electromagnetic radiation which interferes
with any communication equipment of others.
- Service to any motor rated greater than 10 Horsepower
must be reviewed and approved by TCED prior to the installation of such
equipment. Upon approval, service to any motor rated greater than
10 Horsepower will be considered a power installation and will be
served under TCED's applicable power rates. The exception is a
"soft start" single phase motor in excess of 10 Horsepower, where the
starting current of such a motor does not exceed the starting current
of an equivalent conventional 10 Horsepower single phase motor, and
where system conditions permit.
- Three Phase
TCED supplies different voltages and types of polyphase
service in various locations. In all cases, TCED must be
consulted regarding the character of service at any particular location.
TCED will supply single phase or polyphase service for
power in accordance with the following general provisions:
- Installations having motor loads aggregating 10
Horsepower or less will ordinarily be supplied with single phase
service. Customers requiring polyphase service within this rating
should consult TCED regarding the availability of such service for
their particular application.
- Installations having motor loads aggregating more
than 10 Horsepower may be supplied either single phase or polyphase
service, depending upon the particular application and the availability
of polyphase service.
- TCED may require the use of such starting or current
limiting equipment as may, in its option, be necessary for use with any
motor or apparatus to prevent undue disturbances, unbalance, or voltage
fluctuations on its lines. Electric welders, X-ray devices and
similar equipment usually require a separate power supply for
satisfactory operation. TCED should be consulted in every case
prior to the installation of such equipment.
- Electric furnaces and other heating devices shall be
energized in such a manner that TCED's system will not experience undue
disturbances, unbalance, or voltage fluctuations.
- Services at Primary Distribution Line Voltages
Voltages listed
below are not available at all locations:
| Three Phase |
2400 Volts Delta |
| Three Phase |
2400/4180 Volts Wye |
| Three Phase |
8000/13800 Volts Wye |
TCED's
Engineering Department must be consulted in each case, relative to
service availability, and transformer size limits.
- Service At
Transmission Line Voltages
Customers may be
supplied at the following voltages as determined and specified by TCED:
| Three Phase |
69 KV |
| Three Phase |
138 KV |
TCED's
Engineering Department must be consulted in each case, relative to
service availability, and transformer size limits.
- Point of
Service Connection
- Overhead
Services
TCED will designate specifications and the location at
which overhead service lines will be connected to the Customer's
facilities.
- Underground services
Underground service is subject to special conditions and
policies making it necessary to consult TCED before wiring and rewiring
the Premises. When underground service is supplied, the Customer
must enter into an Agreement with TCED designating the point of
connection of each underground Service to the Customer's
facilities.
In some cases TCED will require curb-side metering.
- Change of Service
Any change of service connection (either Overhead or
Underground) at the Customer's request, after the original
installations, shall be the Customer's expense.
