Plans & docs

Site Plan Reqs

Proposed location

Details of conditions for the installation and other environmental factors.

Proposed details of interconnection

SLD Reqs

Source of driving energy and anticipated electrical capacity of the system.

Number of phases; manufacturer’s technical data; including control, circuit and safety information

For a 6000 Inverter please use a 40A 2P Breaker. There is a shortage of 35A Breakers - 11.23.20

Electric Service Reqs

Stand-alone meters must receive an MPU in Utah

Phases:

Systems may be single or three phase except where single phase will cause unacceptable imbalance or three phase interconnection is not reasonably available.

Safety Considerations for systems 10kW and less:

The owner’s system shall be protected so that a short circuit due to any cause, will not damage the generator or any of its equipment.

In the event the Utility’s source of energy is lost the generating system must be electronically disconnected from the Cooperative’s lines until the source can be reestablished.

Safety Considerations for systems 10kW or more:

Phase failure/reversal and voltage imbalance protection must be provided by the owner.

A disconnect that the Cooperative can control just be provided which will allow the Cooperative to lock the generator off the distribution lines.

In the event the Cooperative’s source of energy is lost, the generating system must be electrically disconnected from the Cooperative’s lines until the source can be reestablished.

Taps:

Line and Load Side Taps allowed

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with RRE - Raft River Rural Electric Co-op before you rely on this. The useful move: if an installer says you need a main panel upgrade, ask how these tap and interconnection policies were considered first.
