WHAT
YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR NEW ELECTRICAL SERVICE
Your
new electrical service includes the following:
1.
QO Brand circuit breaker which has a legacy of more than 50 years as an industry- leading premier product of the Square D brand
2.
New weather head at the end of the new service cable. This protects
the cable from the entrance of rain water.
3.
New insulator for Duke overhead service lateral, if required.
4.
New meter socket and meter. These items and the insulator, although
installed by Cooper Electric, are the property of the local electric utility
company.
5.
New copper clad ground rod and copper grounding electrode conductors.
An aluminum ground electrode conductor is in compliance with the National
Electric Code. However, due to the importance of the proper operation
of the grounding system during a fault condition and our commitment to
a superior quality installation, we install only copper ground wire.
6.
New distribution panel including a main circuit breaker sized to coordinate
with the amperage of the electrical service. We use Square D QO brand
copper buss bar panels with a LIFETIME WARRENTY.
7.
New branch circuit breakers sized to match the maximum current carrying
capability of the branch circuit conductor.
Square D QO brand branch circuit breakers are WARRANTED
FOR THE LIFE of the panel in which they are
installed. Our 100 amp panel has space for 30 single-pole, full-size
circuit breakers. Our 150 amp panel can accommodate 30 single-pole
breakers. Our 200 amp panel can accommodate 42 single-pole breakers.
8.
Cooper Electric will obtain the electrical permit and arrange for the electrical
inspection. We will also coordinate the inspection by the local utility
company. The cost of these items is included in our quotation.
NOTE: If a re-inspection is required because you failed to provide
access for the inspector on the agreed-upon day, an additional fee is charged
to us and we will bill you accordingly. If you accept our proposal
and cancel after we have processed the permit you will be charged $50.00
to cover the cost of the permit and processing.
