June 2008 Issue
Summer is here! Have you contacted your OPPD representative about upcoming projects?
We appreciate your business and want to ensure your coordination efforts with OPPD are successful. Running things by your Electric Service Designer or Account Executive can prevent costly delays in connecting your new or rewired service. Included is an Aim Green magnet with OPPD contact numbers. Please contact us when planning your projects to ensure timely project completion.
Underground Dips
If working on underground residential dips, please call us first to confirm whether it is a good candidate for an underground dip and to get instructions specific to your project. Customers are responsible for providing duct for this service. OPPD installs the cable. It is important to use no more than two 90 degree bends and the appropriate conduit size based on service size. The ESD will also identify pole or pedestal location including which side of the pole will be used.
Temporary Poles
Always mark temporary poles with the address that matches your permit. This will ensure that the service gets connected the first time a shooter is sent out.
Lever Bypass
As a reminder, ALL commercial meter sockets excluding temporary service shall include a lever bypass. This includes garages, sheds and irrigation services.
All Equipment on Transformer (AEOT)
OPPD installs metering equipment on transformers in many instances, but not always. If the transformer serves multiple customers or has a low demand it can not have metering installed on the transformer. It is important to review your meter spec to confirm. The spec will have AEOT boldly printed. If there are any questions about AEOT application please review with your OPPD representative to avoid costly delays and/or added expenses.
