APPENDIX B
CONNECTION STANDARDS
for
CUSTOMER ELECTRIC GENERATING FACILITIES
of not more than 100 KILOWATTS
A. General
This Appendix sets forth the requirements and conditions for interconnected non-utility-
owned electric generation where such generation may be connected for parallel operation
with the service of City of Port Angeles Electric Utility(the "'City"). For purposes of this
Appendix, the interconnecting entity shall be designated "Customer".
B. Connection Requirements
1. Customer shall conform to all applicable National Electric Code (NEC) requirements
[NEC Articles 690 and 705] and building codes, and shall obtain electrical permit(s)for
the equipment installation.
2. Customer shall have a dedicated lockable disconnect device between sources of
alternating-current, (i.e. between inverter(s)or other power conditioning unit(s))and the
City's distribution system. The lockable disconnect must be accessible to the City at all
times and only the City's lock may be used on it.
3, Customers over current device at the service panel shall be marked to indicate power
source and connection to the City's distribution system.
4. Customer's power production control system shall comply with NEC Articles 690 and
705, Underwriters Laboratories(UL) Standard 1741, Second Edition, and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE)Standard 1547 minimum specifications, and
standards for parallel operation with the City. In particular, the:
a. Power output control system shall automatically disconnect from the City's source
upon loss of the City's voltage and not reconnect until the City's voltage has been
restored by the City.
b, Power output control system shall automatically disconnect from the City's source if
Customer's voltage fluctuates beyond plus or minus 10 percent, per UL 1741.
c, Power output control system shall automatically disconnect from the City's if
Customer's and the City's frequency fluctuates plus or minus 2 cycles per second
(Hertz).
d. Inverter output distortion shall meet IEEE Standard 519.
C. Safety
All safety and operating procedures for joint use equipment shall be in compliance with the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standard 29, CFR 1910.269, the
NEC, WAC rules, the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Administration (WISHA)
Standard, the City Service Requirements, and equipment manufacturer's safety and
operating manuals.
