voltage. Break-before-make auto reconnect to the utility source shall be permitted only after the utility source has been established for a minimum of two minutes. Manual Disconnect. A means shall be available to positively disconnect Customer from the system such that there is no possibility that Customer could backfeed through the service transformer and energize the system. This requirement shall be met with a switch housed in an approved enclosure which can be secured with a padlock or locking device located between Customer and ERMU's system. Automatic Transfer. Closed transition (soft transfer) is permitted only after the utility source has been established for a minimum of 5 minutes. Paralleling between Customer's generator and the utility shall incorporate appropriate synchronization equipment and shall be limited to10 milliseconds to accomplish the transition. Transfer switch shall have electrical interlock to prevent closing on the utility if there is a loss of utility voltage. Auto retransfer (soft transfer) to the utility source shall be permitted only after the utility source has been established for a minimum of 2 minutes. Manual Transfer. Soft transfer is not permitted. For manual transfer, the transfer switch shall have a mechanical interlock to prevent paralleling to the utility. Section 3: Power Quality. Operation of Customer's generation and auxiliary equipment must not cause any reduction in the quality of service provided by ERMU to its customers nor interfere with the operation of ERMU's distribution system or ERMU power supplier's transmission system. The equipment shall not put any undesirable voltages, frequencies, or transients on to ERMU's distribution system or ERMU power supplier's transmission system. If any of the aforementioned events occur, the equipment shall be disconnected until such time as the harmful conditions have been corrected. Customer shall be responsible for taking any corrective action that may be required and/or reimbursing ERMU for the cost of corrective action which ERMU deems necessary to provide and restore services to prescribed limits. Customer's generator will generate 3 phase, 60 hertz power delivered to ERMU at normal 12.47 Kv at a power factor of 98% lagging. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) levels produced by the equipment shall be less than 1%. ARTICLE 5. GENERATING EQUIPMENT OPERATION. Upon not less than thrity minutes notice by ERMU to Customer prior to generator start-up time, Customer shall operate the generating equipment at the output level stated in Article I, under Generating Equipment during the period requested by ERMU. During such period ERMU shall not be obligated to serve Customer's electric load to the extent of the generator (s) output. Customer shall comply with all applicable generation regulations of 3
