Disconnect/Reconnect Form Customer/Electrician Instructions (cont.)
This policy does not permit the customer to have an un-metered service. The meter shall be re- installed in the new (or
existing) meter socket prior to carrying load.
The customer or their contractor may not begin work without a returned signed copy of the Disconnect/Reconnect
form from the Company. It is the expectation of the Company that work will be completed within two weeks of the
application date.
Homeowners and others have the right to work on electrical equipment in those jurisdictions where electrician licenses
are not required. In doing so, they assume personal responsibility for their knowledge, ability and safety. Persons
performing residential electrical work under this policy shall be required to attest in writing they are NEC qualified.
The term NEC-qualified person(s) shall be used in all documents relating to this policy and understood to mean
qualified person(s) as defined in the current edition of the NEC as “One who has skills and knowledge related to the
construction and operation of the electrical equipment and installations and has received safety training on the hazards
involved”.
Procedure:
1. Fill out the Disconnect/Reconnect form completely and return it to the email address or fax number on the form.
Note - incomplete forms shall be returned to the customer.
2. Wait for the Company to return the Disconnect/Reconnect form with a work order number. The returned form
constitutes written permission from the Company to temporarily remove the meter to modify the service entrance.
3. When ready to commence their work, the NEC-qualified person will cut the service entrance conductors on the
customer’s side of the service connection. See attached Figure 1.
4. The seal on the meter can then be broken, and the meter removed and secured.
5. Once the service is de-energized, work may begin on the customer-owned premises wiring and equipment.
6. Sufficient length shall be left on the individual service entrance conductors to allow them to reach the existing
service connection and create a sufficient drip loop according to ESB 750.
7. Upon completion of their other work, the person shall make temporary connections to the remaining piece of each
service conductor utilizing Anderson LC-51-C-XB or LC-52-C-XB connectors or equivalent parallel groove connector,
insulated with Anderson PTC 51 or 52 or equivalent plastic cover or black electrical tape.
8. Following the electrical inspection, the person shall install the meter in the new channel and secure it with a nylon
wire tie. See attached Figure 1.
9. Once the inspection is called into the National Grid VRU system, National Grid shall make the permanent
connections to the new service entrance conductors. The connectors shall be left at the work site for retrieval by the
owner or their contractor.
