RULE 19 - CUSTOMER'S EQUIPMENT - INSPECTION

a.

Requirements:

 

The customer's wiring and electrical apparatus shall be installed, maintained and operated by the customer in accordance with and in conformity to any and all, local or other governmental requirements, the National Electrical Code and the IRC, and these rules.

b.

Inspection and Approval:

 

PPL EU requires that customer's new, changed, or upgraded electric service entrance facilities be inspected and approved by individuals who are registered or certified by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry. This requirement applies to temporary and permanent electric service entrance facilities.

Successful completion of the inspection indicates to PPL EU that the customer's service entrance facilities are ready for the introduction or re-introduction of electricity by PPL EU from PPL EU's electric distribution system. Inspectors who are certified or registered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry are listed on the Listing of Certified and Registered Code Officials Web page.

PPL EU recommends, in the interest of the customer's protection, that all new wiring or changes and additions to existing wiring be inspected even when there is no PPL EU involvement.

c.

PPL EU May Refuse to Connect to Customer's Facilities Which are Dangerous and Defective:

 

PPL EU does not inspect the customer's wiring or electrical apparatus. Before connecting a service, PPL EU checks to see that the customer's service entrance facilities are installed according to PPL EU specifications, and are in compliance with PPL EU's Rules for Electric Meter and Service Installation (REMSI) Document.

PPL EU may refuse to connect the service whether or not a signed cut-in card has been secured, when in PPL EU's judgment, the customer's service entrance facilities are dangerous or defective, do not conform to these rules, or were not installed in accordance with PPL EU's specifications.

d.

PPL EU Is Not Responsible for Customer's Wiring or Equipment:

 

In accordance with Rule 2G of PPL EU's tariff; PPL EU is not responsible for the customer's wiring or equipment.

Furthermore, any electrical inspection agency whose cards are accepted by PPL EU is not an agent of PPL EU in any respect whatsoever, and no liability to PPL EU results from the reliance of the customer on any approval obtained from any such electrical inspection agency. Customers must rely solely on the electrical inspection agencies for assurance that their facilities are safe.
