1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SERVICE

1.1 This is a guide to the Sacramento Municipal Utility District's (SMUD) requirements for the establishment of electric service to new or re-wired commercial/industrial installations. The requirements presented here are necessary for SMUD to supply uniform, satisfactory, and safe service. It is necessary that all written material (this text, as well as all of the notes on the drawings) be carefully read.

1.2 It is important that early arrangements be made in advance of the installation of electric service lines and the location and setting of meters. Contact SMUD's Customer Services Department, 6301 S Street, 1-888-742-7683, for new or additional service. This must be accomplished as soon as initial planning is considered. Delays in supplying this required information could cause an unnecessary inconvenience for the customer. Electric service shall not be established until the "service entrance facilities" and interior wiring are satisfactorily completed by the customer.

NOTE: "Customer service entrance facilities" is the term used to designate all the electrical components required to be furnished and installed by the customer.

1.3 Where the operation of the customer's equipment will require unusually stable voltage regulation, beyond that supplied by SMUD in the normal operation of its system, the customer shall be responsible to protect their own equipment. Any special or auxiliary equipment required by the customer shall be installed on the load side of the meter. The customer, at their own expense shall install, own, operate and maintain this special or auxiliary equipment.

1.4 In addition to SMUD's own requirements, the customer is responsible for complying with applicable provisions of City and County ordinances, the California Electric Code (CEC), the National Electric Code (NEC) and all applicable orders, rules and regulations of the State of California. All meter panel and customer service switchboard equipment shall meet SMUD and EUSERC requirements and be UL approved. For information on EUSERC, see www.euserc.com.

1.5 No service can be connected until approved by the appropriate Authority Having Jurisdiction. Only authorized SMUD employees are permitted to make connections between SMUD wiring and customer wiring.

1.6 SMUD will normally require a new commitment after one year unless a customer has requested and received written approval for a longer period of time from a SMUD Engineering Designer.

REV.

1.7 Building plans and definite load information for commercial and industrial installations must be furnished to SMUD Engineering Designer EA105 at P.O. Box 15830, Sacramento, 95852-0830, as soon as possible. Delays in supplying this required information could cause an unnecessary inconvenience for the customer.

1.8 Commercial and Industrial contracts and/or agreements with SMUD shall be executed in accordance with the provisions of SMUD Rules and Regulation 16.

1.9 The customer's service voltage shall be determined by SMUD's Engineering Designer. Multiple service voltages to one building or parcel of property shall only be granted upon approval of SMUD's Engineering Designer and local inspection authorities.

1.10 Normally, only one service point shall be granted to one building or one parcel of property. Multiple service points may be granted to one building or multiple buildings on one parcel, provided they meet the requirements of the CEC and NEC, as well as the requirements of SMUD and local inspection authorities.

1.11 All commercial meter installations with a service main disconnect or combined breaker ratings greater than 200 amps must be reviewed and approved by SMUD. These drawings shall show the customer’s name and job address. Submit two copies to: SMUD Meter Shop EB102, P.O. Box 15830, Sacramento, CA 95852-0830 prior to fabrication. One copy shall be returned to the sender with approvals or required corrections.

1.12 Meter locations for all installations shall be designated by the SMUD Engineering Designer. The meter(s) shall be located within 3 feet of the corner of the building closest to the SMUD service point and shall be a minimum of 3 feet from all property lines. Meter locations other than described above shall not be allowed without advance written permission from the Engineering Designer. Any deviations shall be made only for special structural requirements and must be approved by the Engineering Designer.

Meter locations other than those described above are subject to additional charges, payable prior to meter installation.

1.13 This guide may not cover all situations or installations. If an installation is not addressed or identified within this guide the customer shall seek approval from a SMUD Engineering Designer prior to construction.

3. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL

ELECTRIC SERVICE INSTALLATIONS

3.1 Underground Services, Commercial/Industrial

3.1.1 City or County inspects all UG services and determines panel size, conductor size, and number of conductors required.

3.1.2 Customer to provide all conduit and conductor to a location designated by

SMUD.

REV.

3.2 Overhead Service Drops, Commercial/Industrial

3.2.1 A "service drop" is the span of overhead conductors from SMUD's pole to the customer's building or structure and does not include the "drip loops".

The drip loop is formed by connecting the ends of the customer's service entrance conductors to the service drop.

3.2.2 Unless special permission is granted by SMUD's Engineering Designer, the length of the service drop is not to exceed 100 feet (distance measured from the nearest SMUD pole to the point of attachment). In addition, the point of attachment shall be located on that part of the building nearest to and facing SMUD's pole.

3.2.3 The height of the point of support or attachment on the customer's building must be sufficient to provide the necessary ground clearances prescribed by all applicable orders, rules and regulations of the State of California, General Order 95 of the California Public Utilities Commission, the CEC and NEC, and City and County ordinances.

3.2.4 In the area accessible to pedestrians only, where the 12 foot minimum clearance applies, clearances shall be measured from either the lowest point of the drip loops or the lowest point of sag of the service drop conductors, whichever is lower. Where proper height cannot be maintained by going to the highest point on the face of the building, a periscope type service riser shall be used (See Page A-5).

3.2.5 In addition to the required ground clearances, the service drop must have a "radial clearance" of 3 feet from any building exit, window, door or other opening at which human contact might be expected. In the case of a service drop located above the horizontal plane through the top extremity of such an opening, the 3 foot minimum clearance may be reduced to the maximum practical radial clearance. In no event, however, shall it be less than 1 foot (See Page A-4).

3.2.6 Due of the necessity of meeting these clearances and a variety of other problems, it is imperative that you contact SMUD before you decide on a point of attachment for the service drop. A SMUD Engineering Designer will help you select a point of attachment that shall meet SMUD's requirements. Call 732-5700 to request a meter spot. SMUD shall not connect to an unsuitable location selected by the customer or his representative.

3.2.7 Eye bolts or securely bolted service racks are required for support of the service drop and must be installed by the customer through a minimum of 2 x 4 inch backing. Lag screws are not permissible.

REV.

3.2.8 The point of attachment should be located at or near the corner of the building nearest and facing the pole designated by SMUD as the pole from which the service drop will be installed. In all cases, the SMUD Engineering Designer must approve the service attachment location.

3.2.9 The Engineering Designer must be consulted on all rewire jobs which involve proper service wire clearance over a swimming pool or metallic roof.

3.3 Service Head

3.3.1 An approved, rain tight service head shall be installed at a point suitable for connecting the service entrance conductors to the service drop.

3.3.2 The service head shall be located as close to the center point of the service attachment as practical. Unless it is impractical, the service head should be higher than the point of attachment (See Page A-5 for illustrations of minimum clearances above the roofline).

3.4 Service Riser Conductors

3.4.1 The Authority Having Jurisdiction must be consulted for size and type of wire.

3.4.2 The service riser conductors must be continuous and without splices.

Neutral line wire (white) shall be continuous and without a splice from the service head through the bonding lug to the neutral bar in the switch.

Where special permission is granted, the neutral line may be broken if the socket is equipped with an approved connection device.

3.4.3 A minimum of 24 inches of conductor must remain outside of the service head and allow for a proper drip loop at the service connection.

3.5 Service Conduit

3.5.1 The Authority Having Jurisdiction must be consulted for size and type of conduit.

3.5.2 Conduit should be in one continuous length from the service head to the meter socket. A limited number of approved type condulets shall be permitted when building construction makes a continuous run impractical.

If gutters are used, they shall be equipped with sealing devices.

3.5.3 RMT or IMT conduit of 1-1/2 inch inside diameter is the minimum service riser conduit acceptable for attaching SMUD's service cables.

3.5.4 Fire protection, in accordance with the Authority Having Jurisdiction, is required where service risers are enclosed in combustible materials.

REV.

3.5.5 Conduit may be concealed in building walls and/or attics on the Utility (line) side of the meter under the following conditions:

3.5.5.1 A semi-flush, mounted, combination meter socket main breaker is used.

3.5.5.2 A 1 1/2 inch minimum inside diameter conduit is used.

3.5.5.3 Conduit is in one continuous vertical run from the meter service entrance to a minimum of 6 inches above where the conduit leaves the concealed wall and/or attic. No condulets or sleeves are allowed in the concealed area.

3.6 Meter Location

3.6.1 A clear, unobstructed work space shall be left on all sides of the meter

(See Page A-1).

3.6.2 In addition, the requirements for dedicated equipment space shall comply with the CEC and NEC.

3.6.3 It is preferred that all metering equipment be located on the outside of the building. Only with prior SMUD approval, metering equipment may be placed inside a building per section 3.7. Metering equipment shall include; metering sections, current transformer sections, potential transformer sections, pull sections, and the building’s main disconnect.

Any questions regarding the location of the metering equipment, please contact Field Metering @ (916) 732-5167.

3.6.4 Electric meter installations shall be accessible to authorized representatives of SMUD for reading, testing, and inspection at all times.

3.10.2 If the service main disconnect is installed outside, it shall be of an approved rain-tight type.

3.10.3 If the meter socket and service main disconnect (main breaker) are in separate enclosures, the wiring between the two enclosures must be in R.M.T., I.M.T. electrical conduit or approved sealable raceway.

3.10.4 The ampacity ratings for service main disconnects or main breakers are approved by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.

3.11 Grounding

3.11.1 An approved, concrete encased electrode (ufer ground) must be used for all new construction.

3.11.2 The Authority Having Jurisdiction must be consulted for the required ground conductor type and size and for other types of grounding.

3.12 Metering Arrangement

3.12.1 The metering arrangement approved as standard and required by SMUD provides for the line current to enter first the meter and then the disconnect (switch) and overload protective devices (fuses or circuit breakers).

3.12.2 Unmetered service wires and metered load wires shall not be combined in the same conduit, raceway, or gutter.

3.13 Metering Emergency Alarm Systems

3.13.1 SMUD policy does not allow connections to a customer's service preceding the electric meter. In those cases when it is impractical to install an emergency alarm system on the load side of the service meter, a separate house meter for the emergency system shall be required.

4. METER INSTALLATIONS ON LOW VOLTAGE SWITCHBOARDS,

0-600 VOLTS, 0-4000 AMPERES

4.1 Switchboards – General

4.1.1 Use of a reactive, volt-ampere-hour meter to measure power factors may be necessary, depending upon the rate under which service is rendered and the amount of load. Some rate schedules call for measurement of the power factor if a certain demand is exceeded for 3 months consecutively.

SMUD shall provide specific information on these subjects upon request.

4.1.2 All compartments containing unmetered conductors shall be sealable.

When a raceway or conduit for "the wiring between the meter and the current transformers" is necessary, it shall be sealable and used exclusively for revenue metering.

REV.

4.2 Switchboard Service Section

4.2.1 A service section is defined as the section of a customer's switchboard provided specifically for housing the metering current transformers (if required), the revenue meters and test facilities, and the service main disconnect or main breaker. SMUD shall accept them only if the following requirements are met:

4.2.1.1 Metered and unmetered wiring shall be separated (not cabled together) so that it is readily apparent that the entire load is being metered.

4.2.1.2 Factory, "harness style" wiring (or equivalent) shall be used between the "hot gutter" and the line terminal of each meter socket and also between the load terminals of each meter socket and the line side of the corresponding circuit breaker.

4.2.1.3 Connecting wires between the meter socket load terminals and the circuit breaker line terminals shall be separately color coded for each position in the row.

4.2.1.4 The relation of the individual meter socket, breaker and address served shall be permanently and clearly marked with the meter panels in place.

4.2.1.5 When the installation is completed, all panels must be removable for inspection of wiring.

4.2.1.6 Panel design shall permit convenient replacement of any individual meter socket or jaw assembly.

4.2.2 When two or more switchboard service sections (standard or specially engineered) are supplied from one set of service conductors, the supply bus and any connections to it shall be located above the current transformer position in a separate sealable enclosure outside of the current transformer compartment. The supply bus it to be arranged so that it is readily accessible and may be worked upon without disturbing the current transformers and the associated secondary wiring.

4.3 Standard Switchboard Service Section

4.3.1 The general arrangement of a standard switchboard service section is shown on Page A-8.

REV.

4.3.2 The standard section now utilizes a hinged meter panel located in front of the current transformer compartment to minimize the overall space requirements. It should be noted that hinged meter panels must be sealable and easily removed with the hinges readily interchangeable from the right or left side on the job site. They must also have handles and open a minimum of 90° on the side that it is hinged with meters and test switches mounted to permit safe and ready access to the instrument transformer (See pages A-9 and A-10).

4.4 Specially Engineered Service Section

4.4.1 Switchboard designs which do not conform to the standard switchboard arrangements are considered specially engineered. Specially engineered service sections include installations:

4.4.1.1 Any service greater than 600V.

4.4.1.2 Over 1000 amperes.

4.4.1.3 Where more than one bus (multi-leaf) is used per phase.

4.4.2 Various arrangements for specially engineered service sections are suggested in the illustrations on pages A-11 through A-16.

4.4.3 When a specially engineered service section is necessary, three drawings of the proposed section shall be submitted to SMUD metering for approval prior to manufacture. The drawings shall indicate the contractor's and the customer's name and address and the installation address.

4.4.4 The general arrangement of a specially engineered switchboard service section should follow as nearly as practical that of the standard section.

In designing a specially engineered service section, the following general requirements shall be observed:

4.4.4.1 Socket meters, used with current transformers, shall be mounted on hinged panels. Self-contained meters shall be mounted on non-hinged panels.

4.4.4.2 When a hinged meter panel is located behind a door, a clear space of at least 11 inches is required between the meter panel and the door, as well as a 90° opening with meters and test switches in place. The access door shall be provided with a single latching device. The access door(s) shall be equipped with devices to accommodate two padlocks.

REV.

4.4.4.3 A clear space in back of the meter panel, at least 4 inches deep, shall be provided for secondary wiring and for the back of the phase shifting device required for determination of power factor.

If recording or graphic demand metering is required, SMUD must be consulted to determine any additional space requirements.

4.4.4.4 Sockets installed on switchboards shall be of a design acceptable to SMUD.

4.4.4.5 Provision should be made for mounting a reactive, volt-ampere-hour meter, unless SMUD specifically indicates that it is not required. The opening for the phase shifting device shall be covered with a flat plate fastened on the inside and painted to match the switchboard.

4.4.4.6 A minimum of 4 inches of clear space is required directly below the bottom slot of the meter test switch to permit safe connection of test leads.

4.4.4.7 Not more than two meters shall be mounted on any removable meter panel.

4.4.4.8 Panels, which provide access to instrument transformers, shall not be larger than required for good accessibility. Removable panels shall be equipped with lifting handles mounted slightly above the panel center and shall not be heavier than can be conveniently lifted by one person.

4.4.4.9 The front edges of the current transformer bus bars shall all be located in the same vertical plane.

4.4.4.10 A removable bus section and suitable transformer support shall be provided to permit the installation of window type transformers for all installations over 1000 amperes.
