5.6 Character of Service

The Cooperative provides a certain standard of service to all of its consumers. The characteristics of this standard of service are described below.

When feasible, consumers whose service requirements are different or more stringent than the service normally supplied to all consumers, the Cooperative will construct at the consumers cost, facilities in such a way as to satisfy the consumer’s special requirements.

The use of the Cooperative's service shall be for no purpose other than covered by the provisions of the rate schedule under which service is supplied, or by any part of these rules and regulations which may be applicable.

The rates apply only to the supply of electric energy of the standard characteristics and capacity which may already be available in the locality of the premises to be served or which may be made available by the Cooperative in accordance with the provisions and requirements of these regulations.

All service shall be alternating current, 60 hertz.

Normal services are single phase: 120 volt, two-wire; 120/240, three-wire. three-phase: 120/240 volt, 120/208 volt, 227/480 volt, or 240/480 volt.

If it is determined that a consumer's equipment creates unacceptable voltages on the electric system neutral, that consumer will be required to eliminate the source of such voltages. The consumer's service maybe disconnected until such time as the source of such voltages is eliminated.

Service may also be delivered at other voltages when applicable and where such secondaries exist, or in instances when the size of the load justifies primary voltage delivery or separate transformer installation.

The availability of service for the consumer's equipment to be used shall be determined by the Cooperative before proceeding with the wiring or the installation of equipment.

The Cooperative shall advise the consumer of the available phase and voltage for that service.
