NOTES:1. SERVICE ENTRANCE TYPE "SE" CABLE SHALL BE AS APPROVED BY LIPA AND CAN BE USED WITHOUT BEING ENCASED IN CONDUIT ON THE LINE SIDE OF THE METER ENCLOSURE, PROVIDING IT WILL NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH ANY AWNINGS, SHUTTERS, OR ANY OTHER OBJECTS THAT MAY CAUSE MECHANICAL INJURY TO THE CABLE. WHEN INSTALLED ADJACENT TO A DRIVEWAY THE CABLE SHALL BE ENCASED IN CONDUIT. PROTECTIVE SLEEVING ON TYPE "SE" CABLE IS REQUIRED TO A HEIGHT OF 8' ABOVE FINISHED GRADE. FOR ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS SEE DWG. D18

2. PVC CONDUIT IS NOT PERMITTED TO BE USED AS A MAST.

3. CUSTOMER SHALL FURNISH MATERIAL AND LABOR FOR ALL WORK SHOWN, EXCEPT AS NOTED. ALL INSTALLATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO INSPECTION BY AN APPROVED INSPECTION AGENCY.

4. THROUGH BOLTS ARE REQUIRED FOR ANCHORING ALL SERVICE MASTS. IN THE EVENT THAT A THROUGH BOLT CANNOT BE USED AN ADEQUATELY SIZED LAG SCREW MAY BE APPROVED IF IT CAN BE SHOWN THE SCREW IS SUPPORTED BY A SOUND STRUCTURAL MEMBER.

5. FOR SOLID BLOCK OR BRICK WALL CONSTRUCTION THROUGH BOLTS SHALL BE SET IN BLOCK JOINTS THOROUGHLY EMBEDED IN MORTAR.

6. FOR SELF SUPPORTING MAST SERVICES ALL PIPE COUPLINGS MUST BE BELOW THE HIGHEST STRUCTURAL ATTACHMENT POINT.

7. MAST MUST BE OF SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO SUPPORT A HORIZONTAL TENSION OF 1000LBS. APPLIED TO THE POINT OF

ATTACHMENT. FOR UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES GUYING OF THE MAST MAY BE PERMITTED. CONTACT LIPA'S ELECTRIC DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION DEPT. FOR GUYED MAST APPROVAL PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.

LIPA CONNECTS PROGRAMCONNECTOR INSTALLATION

1. CLEANING - WIRE BRUSH ALL COPPER AND ALUMINUM CONDUCTORS UNTIL SURFACES ARE BRIGHT AND CLEAN. COPPER CORROSION PRODUCTS ARE POOR CONDUCTORS AND ALUMINUM OXIDE, WHICH FORMS RAPIDLY AND IS INVISIBLE, IS AN INSULATOR. WIRE BRUSHING IS A VERY IMPORTANT AND CRITICAL STEP IN MAKING A TROUBLE FREE CONNECTION AND SHOULD NEVER BE NEGLECTED EVEN IF THE CONDUCTOR APPEARS TO BE CLEAN.

2. INHIBITOR - ALL NEW CONNECTORS ARE PRE-LOADED WITH INHIBITOR. IF ANY CONNECTORS DO NOT HAVE INHIBITOR, IT MUST BE FIELD APPLIED.

3. RE-USE OF CONNECTORS - WHEN CONNECTORS ARE REMOVED AND RE-INSTALLED IN THE FIELD (EVEN FOR A SHORT TIME), THE FOLLOWING STEPS SHALL BE TAKEN: 3.1 WIRE BRUSH BOTH THE CONDUCTOR AND THE JAWS OF THE CONNECTOR.

3.2 FOR ALUMINUM TO ALUMINUM AND ALUMINUM TO COPPER CONNECTIONS, APPLY INHIBITOR TO CONDUCTORS AND WIRE BRUSH IN.

3.3 FOR ALUMINUM TO COPPER CONNECTIONS, INSTALL THE ALUMINUM ABOVE THE COPPER CONDUCTOR.

NOTES:

1. OVERHEAD SERVICES WHICH ARE 400 AMPERES BUT NOT MORE THAN 600 AMPERES SERVED BY OVERHEAD CONDUCTORS SHALL USE OPEN WIRE CONSTRUCTION. IF THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE DUE TO HEIGHT OR APPEARANCE UNDERGROUND SERVICE SHOULD BE SELECTED.

2. THE CUSTOMER IS TO INSTALL AND SUPPLY WEATHERHEAD, CONDUIT, CONDUIT STRAPS, SECONDARY RACK AND CABLES IN THE CONDUIT. CABLES SHALL BE SUFFICIENT LENGTH TO PROVIDE 48" OF SLACK CABLE AT WEATHERHEAD TO MAKE CONNECTIONS TO OVERHEAD SYSTEM.

3. SERVICE ENTRANCE HEIGHT SHALL BE BASED ON 60'(FEET) MAXIMUM SPAN AND MAINTENANCE OF 16.5 FEET MINIMUM CLEARANCE ABOVE GROUND UNDER THE GREATEST SAG CONDITIONS AS WELL AS AN 18' MINIMUM CLEARANCE FOR AREAS SUBJECT TO VEHICULAR TRAFFIC. MAXIMUM HEIGHT FOR POINT OF

LOCATION MUST BE APPROVED BY LIPA.

6. LIPA SHALL COMPLETE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE RISER PER THE APPROPRIATE CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS.

7. IF CONDUIT IS USED, MANHOLES ARE REQUIRED, CONTACT LIPA FOR DETAILS.

** THE CONCERN FOR RELIABLE ELECTRIC SERVICE REQUIRES THAT LIPA RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO ACCEPT OR ENERGIZE ANY CABLES THAT HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH 'ENDS' UNCAPED.
