GENERAL NOTES

1. Residential and commercial meter loops are typically used when constructing facilities for permanent service.
All guidelines outlined in this document shall be followed by your contractor or electrician. PEC shall provide
and install a service wire drop to the member's meter loop.

2. The member shall be in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable codes and
ordinances as legally required by any local authorities having jurisdiction. PEC is in compliance with the
National Electrical Safety Code (NESC).

3. For your protection, PEC urges you or your electrician to use only NEC-approved procedures and materials.
All meter loops must be sized according to the load to be served and NEC guidelines.

4. PEC will refuse service where a known hazardous condition exists and/or if connections do not meet the
specifications outlined in this document. PEC urges the member to use a qualified electrician to prevent safety
hazards, additional costs, and delays. PEC requires that all construction meet or exceed these specifications
prior to service connection. While PEC makes all reasonable efforts to ensure good electrical practice on the
member's side, the Cooperative is not responsible for validating additional criteria that may be applicable to
the member's premises beyond the scope of this document.

5. The member will be responsible for providing, installing, replacement, and repair of the meter loop, including
the meter socket, panels, conduit, underground cable, poles, racks, weatherhead, etc. The member shall own
the meter rack and shall be solely responsible for the related construction, installation, and maintenance of all
electrical and structural components. Splicing is not permitted within meter sockets. The underground cable
used shall be an approved type for underground installation (USE type or UF type). Conductor size will be
based on member load, location of meter socket, and NEC for size of conduit. No member-owned facilities
shall be mounted on PEC-owned poles.

6. Member-owned poles shall be installed a minimum of 10' and a maximum of 40' from transformer. Never install
member-owned poles and/or PEC poles under overhead electric lines. Weatherhead shall not extend above
pole top. Steel poles must be capped to prevent water ingress and may be more than one piece if the final
product is appropriately coupled and meets all other requirements. Pole shall be buried 10% of pole height +
2', be of sufficient height above grade to meet NESC clearances (NESC Table 232-1), and meet the following
criteria:
5" minimum diameter, at the narrowest point, for creosote-treated or commercially pressure-treated
wood poles.
4.5" outside diameter and minimum 0.237" thickness for round steel poles.
4" square and minimum 0.25" thickness for square steel poles.

7. Clearances from ground level to service attachment point shall follow the requirements
of NESC Table 232-1 and associated footnotes and NESC Rule 234C3d for residential
decks. Clearances from ground level to service attachment shall be a minimum of
16' for service to a non-residential building or for residential services crossing potential
traffic exceeding 8' in height. 12' clearance is permissible for a residential driveway
accessible to pedestrians and for horseback riders less than 8' in height. 10' clearance
is permitted for areas only accessible to pedestrians. This is to include all pole-mounted
services and weatherheads mounted to the side of a structure and above
the roof line of a structure.

GENERAL NOTES

8. Neutral conductor must be electrically continuous through the meter socket to the main panel and must be
attached to the meter socket. Electric contractor has the option of terminating the neutral at the meter socket
lug. Main panels will be terminated at the meter socket lugs. Neutral conductor size shall meet or exceed
NEC or local ordinance requirements. It is the responsibility of the member or their electrician to make this
determination.

9. A 200-amp meter loop is rated for breaker(s) less than or equal to 225 amps. For information on higher
amperages, refer to the 320-Amp Meter Loop Specifications.

10. The exterior of the service area shall have a weatherproof main disconnect panel fused or breaker-protected
regardless of the number of branch circuit breakers.

11. Ground cables shall be #6 copper minimum or larger per NEC Table 250.66. Ground rods shall be 5/8" x 8'
copper-clad with clamp and driven at or below grade per NEC. Service areas not bound by permits or codes
are required to install a 5/8" x 8' copper-clad ground rod. If the electric service is installed under an electrical
permit, other grounding methods may be used in accordance with NEC.

12. Bypass levers shall be equipped on all single-phase meter installations 320 amps and above, and on all
three-phase meter installations regardless of amperage.

13. For commercial/industrial/multi-family residential underground services where the meter or a bank of meters is
to be located on the building or adjacent to the load, the service (cable, conduit, and trench) from the
transformer to the load will be provided by the member/developer.

14. Members and/or contractors will have a 30-day grace period to become fully compliant when new PEC
specifications are posted. Any project started prior to the release of new specifications can be completed using
the previous specifications.

15. Please contact your PEC district office at 1-888-554-4732 prior to construction.

INSTALLATION NOTES
ORIENTATION:
The meter loop shall be mounted on the side of the pedestal facing the member's lot.

RACK:
1. Racks built off of existing meter pedestals shall be self-supporting with a minimum of 2" rigid or
IMC pipes and caps, cut to the required length, with 10% of the total length +2' of the pipe set in
the ground in concrete.
2. Shall be stood away from the pedestal a minimum of 18" and not more than 24" with a 3" rigid
pipe nipple of required length.
3. The cross supports for the meter socket, panel, or panels shall be a minimum of 3/4" x 1-1/2"
unistrut of the required length, shall not extend more than 2" past the rigid pipe supports, and

conductors shall be run from the load side of the meter socket to the panel or panels.
PIPE NIPPLE CONNECTIONS:
1. 2" Schedule 40, rigid, or IMC nipples shall be used between the meter
socket and 200A or 125A panels or between 200A or 125A panels and the
gutter when used.
2. Schedule 40 PVC only allowed if ground wire is installed continuously
between the panel(s) and the meter socket as shown on Page 11.
GROUNDING:
Electric services, including but not limited to, service equipment, raceways,
service distribution enclosures, junction boxes, wireways, enclosures, and any
service conductor to be grounded/bonded, shall be grounded/bonded in
accordance with the latest edition of the NEC. See Page 11 for grounding and 09/08/2023
