Customers Service Pole for Alternative Method:
As an alternative, the customer may furnish, install and maintain customer's own service pole or support on his property on which to terminate his underground service entrance conductors.
PPL EU will attach its overhead service drop to that service pole or support and make the connection to customer's service pole or support. PPL EU's facilities are then a standard overhead service and the customer installs, owns, operates and maintains all facilities beyond the point of service excepting the meter.
The customer's service pole or support shall be of sufficient height to provide clearance to the ground and other facilities and erected at a location designated by PPL EU which is accessible to PPL EU bucket trucks and accessible from PPL EU's lines see Rule 4-d for length of the overhead service drop.
Whenever the service pole or support must be guyed, as determined by PPL EU, to offset the pull of PPL EU's service drop, the guy(s) is furnished, installed and maintained by customer.
Customer's underground service entrance conductors shall be installed per the NEC or any other applicable code.
Only customer underground service entrances which are properly installed and maintained by the customer will be connected or be permitted to remain connected to the distribution system of PPL EU.
Customer Specifications for Installation of Underground Facilities:
Customer's underground service entrance conductors shall be installed per the NEC or any other applicable code.
Only customer underground service entrances which are properly installed and maintained by the customer will be connected or be permitted to remain connected to the distribution system of PPL EU.
Rear lot service and meter locations should be avoided since subsequent installation of swimming pools, patios, fences and other structures by the customer may require the relocation of PPL EU facilities at customer's expense.
Any service in the rear of the house must be installed in gray schedule 40 PVC conduit (UL approved) encased in concrete (minimum 3 inch thickness). Before you proceed, please contact PPL EU Distribution Technician to discuss this installation and additional charges that may apply.
