J LARGE POWER SERVICE
(1. rules and regulations apply to all Large Power Service supplied by
the Association.
DEFINITION
Large Power Service is the furnishing of electric energy for the exclusive
use of consumers having a connected load in excess of fifty (50) kilowatts
for motors, appliances, cooking, water heating, space heating, and other
farm, residential , business, and industrial purposes. In those cases
where a Large Power Service rate is designated as being applicable to a
specific customer or type of use, it shall not be applicable to any other
customer or type of use. Special rate schedules and conditions of service
may be established for consumers requiring 20 megawatts or more of capacity. N
RULES AND REGULATIONS •
1 . Large Power Service will normally be supplied at secondary voltage
at 60 cycle, three-phase, four-wire, 120/240 volt Delta connected
service; three-phase, four-wire, 240/480 volt Delta connected
service; or three-phase, four-wire, 277/480 volt Wye connected
service. Single-phase service at standard secondary voltage may
also be made available for loads not exceeding 100 kilowatts.
The Association reserves the right to specify the voltage and
phase at which secondary service will be supplied and to maintain
different nominal voltages if deemed necessary.
2. Three-phase electric service will also be supplied under Large
Power Service at the voltage of the Association's primary distri-
bution or transmission line of sufficient capacity to adequately
supply the load to be served. Final determination of the voltage
to be supplied will be made by the Association and the Association
will advise the customer of the primary voltage available.
3. The customer will connect his equipment so that the load in any
one leg or phase, if three-phase, will not exceed the load in any
other leg or phase by more than 15 percent. •

4. The Association reserves the right to impose restric- z .c``
tions limiting the initial instantaneous starting 41°.\-..
current drawn from the Association's lines by the C
• customer's motors or other types of electrical
apparatus.

5. The customer will be required to maintain, at the Association's
point of delivery, a power factor as near unity as practicable.
In the event a low voltage condition due to lagging power factor
exists in a degree sufficient to impair the Association's ser- S
vice, the customer will install suitable capacitor or other T
equipment necessary to raise the overall power factor at the
point of delivery to a satisfactory value. Where such power
factor correction equipment is used, the customer will install
and maintain a relay, switch, or other regulating equipment
for the purpose of disconnecting or controlling the power factor
correction equipment in order to prevent excessive voltage
variation on the Association's lines.
6. Billing demands will be determined as set forth in the rate
schedule, subject to the following additional provisions:
a. If the load is of intermittent or fluctuating character
or requires frequent starting with high starting current,
the Association may take as the billing demand, the maxi-
mum kilowatt demand established by the consumer during any
five, ten, or fifteen minute period of time in the billing
period; or may add to the thirty minute measured demand
50 percent (50%) of the maximum requirements of the inter-
mittent or fluctuating load.
b. If the customer's equipment is so connected that at the point
of delivery the load on any one phase exceeds the load on any
other phase by more than 15 percent (15%) , the Association
may take as the billing demand the three-phase equivalent of
the maximum kilovolt amperes in any phase adjusted to an
r 85 percent (85%) factor.
7. Unless requested by the customer, electric service
will not be disconnected by the Association during DO HOT WRITE
periods of non-use. In the event service is di s- IN THIS SPACE N
connected during such periods at the customer's
request, a reconnect charge of Forty Dollars
($40.00) shall be billed when service is again
required by the same customer.

point shall be the point of attachment of the Association's

Association to provide service to the customer. Said new
facilities may include new substations, additional substation
capacity, new transmission lines, rephasing and reconductoring

INDETERMINATE SERVICE PLAN _ C
APPLICABILITY
1 . This construction deposit plan is applicable to distribution line
extensions where the amount of revenue and permanency of service
• cannot be reasonably assured.
2. Service under this plan shall include, but shall not be limited to
mobile homes, mines, quarries, sandpits, oil wells, irrigation t •
( pumping, industrial and commercial enterprises of a speculative
character, real estate subdivisions, development of property for
sale, and to enterprises where the applicant will not be the user
of the service. Indeterminate service is also applicable where there
is little or no immediate demand for service; where the service is for
singular purposes which could readily be converted to alternate energy
sources; or for all other service to which neither permanent nor
temporary service is applicable.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
•
The Association shall own, build, operate and maintain all extensions
of its distribution system for indeterminate service. The Association shall
construct the necessary extension of its electric distribution system, if
the service is to be of indeterminate character, subject to the following
terms and conditions:
•
1 . Each applicant for service hereunder shall be required to advance to
the Association, prior to the construction of the line extension, a•
construction deposit equal to the estimated total cost of the line
extension. Upon completion of the construction of the extension,
the construction deposit will be adjusted to reflect the actual
cost of said construction as entered into the books of the Associa-
tion. If the actual cost is less than the construction deposit as
originally estimated, the Association shall thereupon refund the
( difference to the applicant. If the actual cost is greater than the
construction deposit as originally estimated, the applicant shall
pay the difference to the Association within thirty (30) ca HOT WRITE
days following written notice. ITT,TNVfiracl

shall apply:
a. The Applicant shall advance a refundable construction deposit
to the Association determined in accordance with the foregoing
( paragraphs of this policy.
b. For each customer of a permanent nature connected to the

extension outside the boundaries of the subdivision or develop-
ment. In such a case, the connection of said customers shall
. have no effect upon the construction deposit of the subdivider
or developer, but said additional facilities shall be considered
independently under the terms of the applicable extension policy.
3. With regard to all other applicants for an indeterminate service line
extension, the construction deposit established hereunder shall be _ .
. subject to refund only if the nature of the applicant's electric
service changes from indeterminate to permanent service. In such
an event, .-the terms and conditions of the Permanent Service Plan line
extension policy shall apply and the construction deposit will be
( refunded, without interest, to the extent permitted by that policy.
