3 A. Definitions Association Gunnison County Electric Association, Inc. (GCEA) is referenced in this document as the Association. Electrical Inspection As referenced in this document, the electrical inspection is defined and controlled by the State of Colorado. The National Electrical Code (NEC) has been adopted by the state and all residential, commercial, and industrial building wiring must comply with NEC requirements. Reference the Colorado State website for complete information: Meter Socket The enclosure for the GCEA electric meter, sometimes called a meter can. The meter socket is provided by GCEA to the member or their electrician. Meter Pedestal The enclosure for the GCEA electric meter normally used for underground service. The meter pedestal is owned and installed by GCEA. NEC The National Electrical Code is a regionally adoptable standard for the safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment in the United States. NESC - The National Electrical Safety Code is a United States standard of the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of electric power and communication utility systems including power substations, power and communication overhead lines, and power and communication underground lines. Service Point The point of connection between the facilities of the serving utility (GCEA) and the premises wiring of the member. B. Member Service Wiring Guidelines GCEA is prohibited from connecting any electrical service until an electrical inspection is acquired from The State of Colorado. A permit may be obtained from the State of Colorado s web site at You may also contact the State of Colorado s local State Inspector at A homeowner is allowed to perform their own electrical work, but if they require assistance, Colorado Law states the person performing the work must be a Colorado licensed electrician. A Colorado Master Electrician must perform all commercial work. GCEA is prohibited from recommending electricians. A listing may be obtained from the phone book or use local references. Note: On all installations the service point varies and is defined in Appendix A. The member/electrician will be responsible to install and maintain the underground service lines from GCEA s equipment location to the service entrance on the house. When the meter is located on the house, GCEA installs and maintains the overhead service drop wire from the pole Member Service Electric Wiring Guidelines Page 2 of 24
4 to the house. The meter sockets may be obtained from GCEA. All other meter sockets must be approved prior to installation. GCEA reserves the right to designate the meter location. The meter should be located on the gable end of the house where snow will not slide down over the meter. The meter should be installed at eye level or approximately five feet above ground level. NOTE: Call before you dig: 811 C: Meter located on the house from an underground source - pad transformer or j-box. Note: call GCEA for instructions if the service is 400 amps or larger. For an underground service with the meter located on the house, GCEA requires that the member wires be dug to within 3 feet of our transformer or junction box. The Colorado Electrical Inspector will notify GCEA when the service has passed the electrical inspection. Please call the Colorado State Electrical inspector with any questions concerning service that is past GCEA equipment. GCEA will energize the service within three days of notification of the inspection approval. If coordination is required, the electrician must call the GCEA Operations Department at for scheduling. D: Meter Pedestal connection - Maximum 200 amp self-contained. For a meter located on a meter pedestal, the member/electrician will tie into the main breaker on the pedestal and run the service to the temporary and/or to the house. The meter pedestal must be owned and installed by GCEA; unless other provisions acceptable to GCEA have been made. If the meter pedestal does not have a breaker, GCEA requires that the wires be dug to within 3 feet of the pedestal and GCEA personnel will terminate member owned secondary wires into the pedestal at the time of the inspection. If the member wishes to have the pedestal changed out to one with breakers, the member must pay all costs associated with the change out. GCEA does not allow temporary or permanent outlets or service equipment to be attached to the meter pedestal. The member/electrician is responsible to install any temporary construction loop or member owned pedestal. The meter will remain in the GCEA owned meter pedestal. Note: GCEA does not allow electricians or homeowners to pull the meter, please contact GCEA if this is necessary. E: Meter located on the house with underground service from a pole-mounted transformer. Note: call GCEA for instructions if the service is 400 amps or larger. If the transformer is located on a pole and the meter is to be placed on the house, the member/electrician shall run their underground secondary wire within 3 feet of the pole and leave enough wire to reach the secondary lugs on the transformer. This will be a minimum of 30 feet on a 35 foot pole. Taller poles will require additional wire to be left. GCEA will install the wire inside GCEA provided conduit and attach it to the pole. If more than one service is fed from Member Service Electric Wiring Guidelines Page 3 of 24
5 the transformer pole, a secondary junction box will be installed at the base of the pole and the member/electrician will run the service wires to within 3 feet of the junction box. GCEA personnel will hook up the wires at the time of the electrical inspection. F: Meter located on the transformer pole with an underground service. When the meter is located on a transformer pole, GCEA will install the meter socket and mast on the pole. The member/electrician will tie into the secondary lugs in the meter socket and run underground from the pole. GCEA will not energize the service until after the inspection has been completed. Note: the only equipment allowed on our poles is temporary meter loop. The temporary meter loop shall be removed after construction is complete. Only one meter loop is allowed per pole, with the exception of the temporary loop. G: Meter located on the house with an overhead drop GCEA installs and maintains the service wire on overhead drops when the meter is located on the house. The member/electrician shall install the meter socket and weather head on the house leaving 12 of tail wire for GCEA personnel to connect the service drop wires. This is the point of service. The member owns and maintains the meter socket and mast. The meter location should be located within 60 feet of the pole when possible. The mast height must meet NESC and NEC codes and be firmly attached to the roof. H: Temporary meter located on the transformer pole Installation of the temporary service will entail that the member/electrician mount a meter socket with a 10-foot mast on the pole, leaving wire long enough to reach the secondary lugs on the transformer. The meter socket should be mounted approximately five feet off the ground. The minimum length of the wire (on a 35 foot pole) will be 20 feet. Taller poles will require additional wire to be left. If the permanent meter is on located on the pole, the temporary receptacles with ground-fault protection may be mounted below the GCEA s meter socket for the period of construction. I: Meter connection in frozen ground If the member/electrician expects to have their service connected in the winter months, please pre-arrange to have the wires dug into GCEA s equipment, before the inspection, in the fall. There will be an additional charge for GCEA crews to dig in member wires in frozen ground. J: Open Trench by Developer The developer or contractor may provide an open trench for joint installation of power and communication cables subject to the following minimum Association requirements. The Association and the affected communication companies must agree to the installation. It shall be a minimum of 36 inches deep. The bottom of this trench must be smooth and parallel to the Member Service Electric Wiring Guidelines Page 4 of 24
6 general grade slopes with no bumps, ripples, or protrusions larger than 2 inches. Six inches of select bedding may be required by the Association prior to the installation of the Association s cable. If bedding is required, the trench must be a minimum of 42 inches deep. 12 inches of select backfill will be placed over the Association s cable. The select material must be approved by the Association. The select material will not contain any construction, organic, or foreign debris. It will not contain any rocks larger than 4 inches in diameter. It will not contain any sharp rocks or objects that in the Association s opinion may damage the cable. The remaining backfill will not contain any large rocks or objects that would damage the cable or hinder future Association maintenance and construction activities. 12 inches of vertical or horizontal separation will be maintained between the power and communication cables. The communication cables must be installed per the attached trench detailed in Appendix B. Additional depth may be required to accommodate the requirements of the communication companies but under no circumstance will the Association s cable be more than four feet deep. There must be a minimum of two feet of unencumbered ground next to the vertical face of the trench. This will ensure that workers will be safe from loose dirt and rocks falling into the trench. Spoil has to be placed so it cannot accidentally run, slide, or fall back into the excavation. It should also be placed so that it channels run off water away from the trench. The Association will install the power cable and associated devices except that the Developer will install the Association s warning tape 12 inches below the final grade. The Developer will be responsible for all compaction requirements. The Developer will provide reasonable notice to the Association so that sections of the open trench can be inspected prior to the dispatching of Association crews for cable installation. The Association may, at its option provide an inspector during all excavation and backfill activities at the Developer s expense. The Developer will be responsible for assuring that the trench is within required easements. The Developer will be responsible for mitigating problems with the open trench including but not limited to water, any required shoring, or removal of debris. K. Grounding Proper grounding is of vital importance. Follow the attached diagrams carefully. Note that separate ground lugs are required for each ground wire connected to a ground rod. L: Right to Refuse Service GCEA reserves the right to refuse service connection if member's wiring is in a condition considered unsafe. GCEA will refuse connection pending an inspection of the premises by an electrical inspector. This inspection will be performed at the member's expense. GCEA will also refuse service if the member s service entrance has been installed improperly or at the wrong location or if fees and charges have not been paid in full by the member. Member Service Electric Wiring Guidelines Page 5 of 24
7 M: Service Utilization GENERAL All wiring, ducts, cables and apparatus, including protective equipment, pertaining to the electric service on the member's side of the point of delivery, shall be furnished, installed, and maintained by the member. Such equipment should be selected to provide efficient use of energy and good voltage regulation. The member shall not use any equipment or device that will adversely affect Gunnison County Electric Association (GCEA) service to the member or to other members. The member's equipment shall be suitable for the service supplied and shall be installed and maintained in good and safe condition by the member in accordance with the rules and requirements of the most current NEC, the public body having jurisdiction, and GCEA. a) Harmonics There are a growing proportion of harmonic producing nonlinear loads on the distribution system. Excessive harmonic distortion on the distribution system can have adverse effects on both utility and member equipment. In order to insure that the processes and operations of one member connected to the system do not affect another, the cooperative will follow the IEEE Recommended Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electrical Power Systems; IEEE Std Considerable effort should be spent in the planning and design phase of plant installation. However, many unique problems could arise after the plant is in operation. In this light, members are required to demonstrate, through field measurements, that their installations comply with the harmonic current limits during the commissioning stage as well as during normal operation. Two criteria should be met by the member. First, the member's total harmonic producing loads, acting as current sources, should not distort the system voltage waveform beyond limits set in IEEE 519 with the exception that the limits on triple harmonics be reduced to one third of the limits for odd order harmonics. Second, the member's capacitors should not cause a resonance condition, both series and parallel, on the system. b) Power Factor GCEA's rates contemplate member's use of service at a power factor, at the point where service is metered, of not less than 95 percent lagging or leading. When neon, fluorescent, or other types of lighting, or other inherently low power factor equipment is used, such equipment must be provided with suitable power factor corrective equipment so that the resultant power factor of such equipment is not less than 95 percent lagging or leading. The member will maintain, at the point of delivery, a power factor as near unity as practical. In the event a low voltage condition due to lagging power factor exists in a degree sufficient to impair GCEA's service, the member may be required to install suitable capacitors or other Member Service Electric Wiring Guidelines Page 6 of 24
8 equipment necessary to raise the overall power factor at the point of delivery to a satisfactory value. The member will maintain such power factor correction equipment in good operating condition and see that fuses, relays and switches are functioning properly. Power factor correction equipment must be sized and connected (switched) with the load to avoid a resultant overall leading power factor. MOTORS Appliances and apparatus should be equipped with motors which will provide the member with satisfactory operation of the appliance and, at the same time, avoid interference with service to other members. Motors may cause voltage disturbances resulting in flickering lights, television interference and other objectionable conditions. a) Motor Identification All motors connected to GCEA's lines should bear a manufacturer's nameplate indicating horsepower, continuous or intermittent duty, speed, voltage, and current ratings. b) Voltage All new motor installations shall be designed to operate on the type of service provided by GCEA. GCEA will advise the member as to the type of service available at the location where the motor is to be used. Inquiry should be made before purchasing or installing the motor. c) Voltage Imbalance Voltage balance may exist at the electric utility revenue meter. Motor installations and their protective relaying should be designed to operate with an imbalance as great as 3%. When negative sequence voltage relays are used for three phase motor protection, the relay settings should prevent nuisance tripping when an imbalance of 3% or less exists. d) Voltage Flicker Current inrush, such as motor starting, can cause a momentary voltage dip called flicker. There are established limits for the amount of voltage flicker that relate to the number of current inrushes (motor starts) in a given period of time and the amount of voltage drop for each inrush (motor start). These conditions can vary greatly depending on the distribution system, transformer, secondary and the device (motor) characteristics. GCEA requires that all devices (motors) fall within these established limits for voltage flicker. There are several remedies available to correct excessive voltage flicker. GCEA can give the member current inrush (motor starting) limits based on a given service location, information provided by the device (motor) manufacturer and typical use of the device (motor). It is the member s responsibility to establish the most appropriate solution to correct a voltage flicker problem. Member Service Electric Wiring Guidelines Page 7 of 24
9 e) Grounding The frame of all motors and starters shall be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code. f) Protection of Member Equipment Whenever the inherent design of a motor or the characteristics of the load which it operates are such that automatic reclosing of the electric circuit after a power interruption or sustained low voltage would damage either the motor or the driven equipment, the member must provide adequate protection to prevent such damage. Starting compensators, auto starters, or equivalent apparatus included in each motor installation shall be equipped with under-voltage protection, to return the starting apparatus to the "off" position upon failure of the supply circuit. Three phase motors which would cause damage due to a reversal of motor rotation should be equipped with reverse phase relays to disconnect the motor from the line if it should receive single phase or reverse-phase power. In addition, mechanical devices should be installed to prevent damage due to travel of the driven mechanism in the wrong direction. GCEA assumes no liability for damage resulting from single phase or reverse-phase operation of three phase equipment. We strongly recommend phase loss relays on all three phase motors, because of possible single phasing conditions unknown to GCEA. g) Starting Single phase motors: a. Below 10 HP: can be started across-the-line. b. 10 HP or Larger: Considered an abnormal load. GCEA engineering will determine on a case by case basis if the motor may require a service upgrade. c. Written Pole Motors up to 60 HP: Reduced voltage/current starting limits current at no more than 50% of locked rotor values. d. Will be limited to 60 HP maximum on GCEA service. Three Phase Motors a. Up to 60 HP: Can be started across-the-line. b HP: Reduced starting requirements. Use one of the following starting methods: Primary Resistor or Reactor: For resistor starting, register shall be sized to limit starting currents to no more than 60% of locked-rotor current. Autotransformer: required 50% tap Wye-Delta start Solid State (soft start): required 50% or less of starting current setting. Member Service Electric Wiring Guidelines Page 8 of 24
10 Part winding motor may be considered if starting current is limited to 60% (typical range is 60% - 75%) of locked-rotor. c HP requires a solid state start with 50% or less of normal starting current is required. A GCEA engineering study may be conducted to determine expected voltage dip and determine if alternate settings will be required. Motors 200 HP or larger are considered abnormal loads and may require a service upgrade. d. 500 HP or larger: The member will need to provide engineered design. Design should include at a minimum a one-line diagram, load information, and motor starting information. Engineered design must be signed by an Electrical Engineer with a P.E. license. Design must be approved by GCEA engineering before the member can proceed with project. If after installation, voltage dip limits are exceeded, the service will be disconnected until corrective action is taken by the member to the satisfaction of GCEA. SPECIAL APPARATUS The member shall consult with GCEA before any special apparatus or any apparatus requiring extremely close voltage regulation is connected. It is necessary that electrical equipment be installed and operated in a manner that will not impair service to other members. The use of welding machines, medical imaging machines, VFD s (variable frequency drives), elevators, or other equipment having fluctuating or intermittent load characteristics, or having an abnormal effect on voltage, may require furnishing service through isolated transformers and separate service drops, or excess capacity facilities in order to protect the quality of service to the member or to other members. GCEA reserves the right to charge the member the full cost of facilities necessary to provide any special service required by such equipment and to prevent any impairment in service to members.
