(a) Secondary service:
Single phase service:
- 3 wire 120/240 volts
- 3 wire 120/208 volts

Three phase service:
- 4 wire 120/208 volts,
grounded WYE

(c) Other standard voltage will be provided by utility, as available, under the terms of Utility’s Rules Regulations and Conditions applying to Electric Service.
(2) Utility will provide and maintain all facilities necessary to deliver one standard delivery voltage at one specified location to customer. Customer shall provide all necessary facilities for utilization of service at the specified delivery voltage and for the receipt at a single point of delivery.
(3) Service shall be metered for both energy (kWhr) usage and demand (kW) usage. Demand integration shall be over 15 minute period.
(4) Customer shall be responsible for maintaining power factor at or above 85% lagging. If customer’s power factor falls below 85% lagging, utility will provide written notice to customer of requirement to improve power factor above threshold level of 85% lagging. If customer fails to correct power factor within 90-days of such notice to a level acceptable to utility, utility reserves the right to apply power factor correction facilities outside of the customer’s facilities at the cost of the customer. In lieu of adding power factor correction facilities, utility reserves the right to apply a monthly power factor penalty to customer. Such a monthly power factor penalty shall be calculated by dividing the actual monthly demand established by the customer (in kW) by the measured (less than 85%) monthly power factor (in per unit). The utility will apply the applicable monthly demand charge to the calculated monthly demand as a penalty for a monthly power factor below 85%.
