Large Industrial Demand Electric Service Rate Determination of Billing Demand:The billing demand shall be the highest measured demand (corrected for power factor if required) during any fifteen (15) minute period occurring in the current billing period. Fluctuating Loads: Customers operating equipment having a highly fluctuating or large instantaneous demand, such as welders and X-ray machines,shall be required to pay all non-betterment costs of isolating the load from the balance of ERMU's system so that the load will not unduly interfere with service on ERMU's lines. No motor larger than ten (10) HP (or 7.355 kW)will be allowed to be across- the-line started without notification and written authorization from ERMU. Power Factor Adjustment: Power factor adjustments may be made in the billing demand,when the power factor,as determined by test, at the time of the Customer's maximum use is less than 95%. If the power factor,as measured by ERMU's electric department, is lower than 95%,the monthly demand charge may be multiplied by the ratio 95%divided by the measured power factor,or at ERMU's option, the power factor may be corrected at the Customer's expense.
