About this file
This is a technical standards and requirements document for electrical service installations published by Southern California Edison (SCE), not a document directly related to the federal contract opportunity for office trailer utility connections.
The SCE Electrical Service Requirements (ESR) is a comprehensive manual (2025 Fourth Quarter Issue, effective October 31, 2025) that provides detailed technical specifications and guidelines for electrical service connections, customer installations, and service equipment design and construction. Key sections cover standard distribution voltages (single-phase 120V through 33,000V three-phase); customer service voltages with minimum and maximum ranges; overhead and underground service requirements; service drop specifications including maximum lengths (typically 100 feet), clearance requirements, and attachment methods; customer-owned transformer requirements; meter socket adapters (MSAs) for distributed energy resources and EV charging on single-family residential panels rated 60-200A; customer generator installations and net generation output metering requirements; short-circuit current limitations (10,000A maximum for single-family dwellings, higher for commercial/industrial); and electric and magnetic field management techniques. The document establishes requirements for service poles, conduit sealing for hazardous areas, plug-in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and provides contact information for SCE's 25 regional Service Planning Offices throughout Southern California territory. Administrative revisions in this issue address meter socket adapter specifications, clarifications on ringless-type meter sockets (not acceptable), and updated guidance on customer-owned transformer vault rooms. The document serves as a technical reference for electrical contractors, engineers, architects, and manufacturers but does not contain procurement information relevant to the USDA Forest Service office trailer utility connections solicitation.

Type Definition
Admin Administrative revisions do not significantly affect design, construction, maintenance or operation of the electrical distribution, substation, and transmission systems. They do not require Standards Review Team (SRT) or management approval; however, they have been approved by other organizations, as appropriate. They may include updates to material codes, updates to references, updates to standards for clarity, or deletions of outdated information.
Technical Technical revisions are engineering changes to existing standards. They affect the design, construction, maintenance or operation of the electrical distribution, substation, and transmission systems. They require SRT and management approval.
New Refers to a new standard. New technical standards require SRT and management approval.
Pilot A Pilot is an in-field evaluation of a piece of equipment or work method, with the intention of approving for standardized use. Pilot standards will have a PILOT watermark so that they are easily identified throughout this manual.

1.0 Scope and Purpose
The Electrical Service Requirements (ESR) presented in this document provide detailed amplifications of certain established rules of Southern California Edison (SCE), An Edison International Company, (also referred to as the “Company”) pertaining to electrical service connections, together with customers’ installations of service wiring and service equipment. These requirements are issued for the guidance and assistance of electrical contractors, engineers, architects, and manufacturers engaged in the installation and design of electrical service wiring and service equipment. As an additional convenience, certain extracts from G.O. 95, Rules for Overhead Line Construction; G.O. 128, Rules for Construction of Underground Electric Supply and Communications Systems, of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) concerning service installations have been included as references.
In localities where no local ordinance is in force and where no provision has been made for inspection by local or other authorities, the Company shall determine if a service wiring installation has been made in a safe and workman-like manner before making a service connection to such installation.
For the purpose of these requirements, the customer or any other person, firm, or corporation making a service wiring installation will be considered the “electrical contractor.”
Any unusual situation, not specifically covered in these ESRs, should be referred to the Company Service Planning Office in the location where the service is supplied. Service Planning Offices are located at various Service Centers throughout the SCE territory. To find the telephone number of the Service Planning Office nearest you, see Table 1–1.

11.0 Service or Meter Switch — General Requirements
A disconnecting means with overcurrent protection is required at the meter location. In some cases, it is a single switch or circuit breaker. In other cases, where permitted by the Company and by inspection authorities, it may be a group of switches or circuit breakers, per National Electrical Code (NEC) 230–71.
A service or meter switch, as defined above, shall be furnished and installed by the customer in every service proposed to be supplied with electric energy from the Company’s system as specified in these requirements.
12.0 Customer Generators
Customer generators shall not be switched or operated in parallel with the SCE system without Company approval. Paralleling shall be in accordance with requirements of the applicable tariff schedules or special parallel generation agreements. Customers and consultants should contact the local SCE Service Planning Office for details.
When a customer has a standby generator to supply all of their load during an SCE system outage, the generator shall be connected to the load by a double-throw switch or automatic relays and switches which will isolate the load from the SCE system before the generator is connected to the load. When the SCE service is re-energized, the generator will then be isolated from the load before the load is reconnected to the SCE system.
RULE 21 NET GENERATION OUTPUT METERING
Rule 21 output metering is required for most customer-generator installations where the generator is installed and intended to operate in parallel with the SCE Distribution System for extended periods of time. Net Generation Output (NGO) metering is required to provide revenue-grade metering data for “non-bypassable charges” to the various categories of customers who serve all or a portion of their electrical energy needs from a source other than SCE. Net Generation Output metering shall be located in a customer’s circuitry at a location that will facilitate measuring “net” generator output. Customer load circuits cannot be connected between the generator and the NGO metering. Generator auxiliary loads (loads necessary for generator operation only) can be connected between the generator and the NGO metering. Net Generation Output metering may also be used by SCE for the other reasons permitted under Rule 21.f. Net Generation Output metering panels, metering switchboards, and medium-voltage metering sections shall be fabricated in a manner as specified in SCE’s Electrical Service Requirements. Net Generation Output Metering supplied by SCE shall be revenue grade and installed in equipment fabricated to the specific requirements found within this manual.
Written requests for information about Rule 21 may be mailed to SCE at the following address:
