C . Power Factor Adjustment:
When the billing demand has exceeded 200 KW for three consec-
utive months, a kilovar-hour met.r will be installed as soon
as practicable and, thereafter U$ti1 the billing demand has
been less than 150 KW for 12 consecutive months, the charges
will be adjusted each month for the power factor as follows:
The charges will be decreased by 20 cents per kilowatt
of measured maximum demand and will be increased by
20 cents per kilovar of reactive demand. However, in
no case shall the kilovars used for the adjustment be
less than one-fifth the number of kilowatts.
The kilovars of reactive de~and shall be calculated by
multiplying the kilowatts of Measured maximum demand
by the ratio of the kilovar.-hours t.o the kilowatt-hours.
Demands in kilowatts and kilovars shall be determined
to the nearest 1/10 (0.1) unit. A rachet. device will
be installed on the kilovar-hour meter to prevent its
reverse operation on leading power factor.
D. Voltage Discount:
The charqes before power factor adjustment will be reduced
by 3% for service delivered and metered at voltaqes of from
2 to 10 XV ~ by 4 % for service delivered and metered at vol t-
aqes ot fram 11 XV to 50 KV: and by 5% for service delivered
and metered at. vo1taqes from 50 "BY; except that when only
one transfo~ation from a transmission voltaqe level is
involved, a customer normally entitled to a 3% discount will
be entitled to a 4% discount.
E. Temporary Discontinuance of Service:
Where the use of energy is seas~nal or inte~ittent, no
adjustment will be made for a temporary discontinuance of

D. Any consumer may obtain the rates for a larger installation
by guaranteeinq the rates and service charge applicable to
the larger installation.
E. Whenever, upon test, any equipment is found to be de1iverin~
more than 125% of its capacity a$ indicated by its nameplate
ratinq, the City may disregard t~e nameplate rating and base
its charqes upon the actual output as calculated from ~e
test.
P. Prorating for a fractional aqricultural year:
Where a full aqricultural year is not available to the con-
sumer, due eo the occurrence after the reqular meter reading
date in April, of any of the following contingencies, the
above rate will be prorated for a fractional aqricultural
year:
1. Where a new consumer starts service.
2. Where a change in connected load occurs prior to
the end of the pumping season.
3. When a change of ownership occurs prior to the end
of the pumping season, the new owner must continue
service on the old customer's contract and pay all
charges which would have accrued for continuous
service.
G. Method of prorating:
New Customer:
2.
The service charge will be applicable each month
to meter readinqs taken in the six consecutive
months of May throuqh October inclusive. For
service after the above period, service charqe may
be paid in two installments.
The size of enerqy blocks and service charqes will
be rendered by the ratio that the number of days
of service the fractional agricultural year bears
to 365 days.

H. Chanqe of Connected Load:
Where there is an increase or de~rease in connected load
during the aqricultural year, no adjustments in bi11inq to
date of change will be made. For the period subsequent to
date of change, billing shall be made on the followinq basis:
1. Any remaining service charge installments shall
be based on the new connected load.
2. Energy char~e billing will be based on the new
connected load using the full annual blocks less
the adjusted kilowatt-hour use to date of change.
This adjustment is determined by multi~lying the
kilowatt-hours to date of chanqe by the ratio of
the new connected load to the old connected load.

vol~age on star~inq or that drive machinery of such a
nature that the machinery, itself, or ~e produc~ i~
handles will no~ permit the motor to resume normal
speed upon the restoration of normal supply voltage
shall be equipped with devices that will disconnect
them from the line upon failure of supply voltage and
that will prevent ehe automatic reconnection of the
motors upon restoration of no~al supply voltage.
2. All motors of 1 hp or larger shall be equipped with
thermal relays, fuses or other au~omatic overcurrent
interrupting devices to disconnect completely such
motors from the line as a protection against damage due
to overheating.
3. Three-phase motors driving elevators, hoists, tramways,
cranes, conveyers or other equipment, which would creat.e
hazard to life in the event of uncontrolled. reversal of
motor rotation, shall be provided with reverse-phase
and open-phase protection ~o disconnect completely the
motors from the line in the event of phase reversal or
1088 of one phase.
4. Wind machines thermostatically controlled with automatic
reclosinq switches must be equipped with suitable t.ime-
delay devices, such as hereinafter specified, at the
customer's expense, to permit the required adjustment
of the time of rec10sure after interrupt.ion of service.
A suitable time-delay device, within the meaninq of
~is rule, is a relay or other type of equipment that
can be preset to delay wit.h various time intervals the
reclosing of t.he automat.ic switches (and the consequent
starting up of the electric motors on the wind machines)
and to staqqer the reconnect ion of the load on the
Utility's system, and such device must be constructed
so as effectively to permit a variable over-all time
interval of not less than five minutes with adjustable
time increments of not greater than ten seconds. The
particular setting to be utilized for each separate
installation is to be determined by the Utility from

E. INTERFERENCE WITH SERVICE
1. Customers who operate equipment which causes detrimental
voltaqe fluctuations (such as, but not limited to, hoists,
welders, radio t.ransmi tters;, X-ray apparatus, elevator
motors, compressors, and fu~naces) must reasonably limit
such fluct.uations upon requ~st by the Utility. The
customer will be required to pay for whatever corrective
measures are necessary.
2. In the case of arc furnace installations not in excess
of 100 KVA single-phase, or 300 KVA three-phase, the
Utility may furnish energy at 240 or 480 volts, providinq
ehe customer permanently installs suitable equipment to
limit secondary short-circuit current values to 300% of
full load value. In the case of arc furnace installation
in excess of 100 EVA, single-phase, or 300 EVA three-
phase, the Utility may require the customer to provide,
at his own expense, special furnace type transformers
and reactors sufficient to limit secondary short-circuit
current values to 300% of full load value. In such
cases, the Utility shall furnish enerqy at standard
voltaqes over 5,000 volts.
3. Any customer who superimpo~es a current of any frequency
upon any part of his elect~ical syst.em, other than the
current supplied by the Utility, shall, at his own
expense, prevent the transmission of such current beyond
his electrical system.
P. POWER FACTOR
The Utility may require the cus~omer to provide, at his own
expense, equipment to increase the operating power factor of
each oomplete unit of neon, fluorescent, or other qaseous
tube liqhting equipment to not less than 90t, laqginq or
leadinq.
G. WAVE PORM

tions:
1. The customer shall pay the City prior to the t.ime of
installation, the estimated cost of the installation

ally will be less ~an 50' of the demand expect.ed at
the end of the development period, will be billed on
the actual demand meter readinqs or on ~e minimum appli-
