SCHEDULE 3-DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES INTERCONNECTION PROCESS <br /> • Using the table below, determine the type of interconnection to a primary <br /> distribution line. This screen includes a review of the type of electrical service <br /> provided to the Interconnecting Customer, including line configuration and the <br /> transformer connection to limit the potential for creating over-voltages on the <br /> Area EPS Operator's electric power system due to a loss of ground during the <br /> operating time of any anti-islanding function. <br /> Primary Distribution Type of Interconnection to Results <br /> Line Type Primary Distribution Line <br /> Three-Phase, three wire Three-phase or single-phase, Pass Screen <br /> phase-to-phase <br /> Three-phase, four wire Effectively-grounded three-phase Pass Screen <br /> or single-phase, line-to-neutral <br /> • If the proposed DER is to be interconnected on single-phase shared secondary, <br /> the aggregate generation capacity on the shared secondary, including the <br /> proposed DER, shall not exceed 20 kW or 65% of the transformer nameplate <br /> rating. <br /> • If the proposed DER is single-phase and is to be interconnected on a center tap <br /> neutral of a 240-volt service, its addition shall not create an imbalance between <br /> the two sides of the 240-volt service of more than 20%of the nameplate rating <br /> of the service transformer. <br /> The technical screens listed shall not preclude the Area EPS Operator from using tools <br /> that perform screening functions using different methodologies given the analysis is <br /> aimed at preventing the voltage, thermal and protection limitations as the listed <br /> screen. <br /> 3.3. Notification of Approval of Application <br /> Provided the Simplified Interconnection Application passes the initial screens, or if the <br /> proposed interconnection fails the screens but the Area EPS Operator determines that <br /> the DER may never the less be interconnected consistent with safety, reliability and <br /> power quality standards, the Area EPS Operator shall provide notice to the <br /> Interconnection Customer that their Simplified Interconnection Application has been <br /> approved. <br /> 3.4. Failure of Review Screens <br /> If the proposed interconnection fails the screens the Interconnection Customer will be <br /> notified by the Area EPS Operator that the Simplified Interconnection Application has <br /> 4 <br /> 170 <br />
