Electric Service Reqs

"(Voltage Magnitude and Flucuation - PG 17, Section 1) Pennsylvania PUC Electric Regulations require that voltage variations not exceed ±5% of nominal system voltage for longer than one minute and a total voltage variation of ±8% from minimum to maximum during normal system operation

(Grounding Electrode Conductors - PG 20, Section B) The grounding electrode conductor size shall be not less than No. 6 copper or aluminum. Larger services shall have grounding electrode conductors sized as specified in Article 250- 94 of the National Electrical Code (NEC). NEC Article 250-23 shall determine where the grounding electrode conductor is connected to the grounded service conductor. The meter enclosure (base) shall not be used for this connection because it is not accessible when sealed.

Install Reqs

Duquesne Light will install a net meter at no cost to the customer. A net meter is typically installed within 7-10 business days.

A customer-generator facility used for net metering shall be equipped with a single bi-directional meter that can measure and record the flow of electricity in both directions at the same rate. A dual meter arrangement may be substituted for a single bi-directional meter at the Company’s expense.
