SECTION 1.19
WIRING OF MOTORS
(a) Since the characteristics ('voltage and phase)' of
the service available in different localities vary, it is necessary
-15-
'\
.
to consult the Power Companies before any motor installations
are made, except as provided hereafter, in order to determine
the character of service available for a particular installa-
tion. The Power Company will also furnish advice and assistance
to customers in the selection of proper motors for the load to
be served but such advice shall not impose any liability on the
Power Company.
(b) In general, only alternating current motors up to
and including ~ HP may b e connected to a 115 volt. single phase
branch circuit.
(c) Motors above ~ HP and up to and including four
(4) HP shall be connected to a 230 volt, single phase service or
3 phase service.
(d) Motors ,above four (4) Horsepower must be three-
phase. Single phase motors in excess of (4) Horsepower maybe
installed only upon written approval of the Power Companies. When
the aggregate of small motors is above five (5) Horsepower, this
motor load must be balanced on the three phases of a three-phase,
230 volt service.
'(
ì
(e) All motors over four (4) Horsepower shall have
their starting current limited to 300 per cent of rated full-load
