External Disconnect Switch. The CPW requires that any new or upgraded electrical installations in our service area other than privately owned homes be equipped with some type of external disconnect switch (EDS) suitable for the size and characteristics of that particular service. Any service location disconnected for any reason that does not meet this requirement shall be brought into compliance before power is restored. The EDS shall be readily accessible by authorized Laurens CPW personnel and shall be located as near to the meter location or service entrance as possible. Apartments shall have an individual EDS for each unit in addition to the main EDS for the apartment building. EDS types may be a fused disconnect switch, main breaker, or a shunt trip style breaker.

Alternate locations not near and within site of the City metering point shall be approved by the City and shall only be approved based on site conditions, cost shall not be considered as a justifiable cause. The CDS must provide a verifiable, visible air gap between the inverter and point of interconnection with the City system. Circuit breakers and inverter software modes do not meet the CDS requirement. A permanent weatherproof one-line diagram of the system clearly identifying all major components of the system and their relationship and location must be permanently installed at the City metering point. Testing Prior to connection, the RRGS and associated equipment shall be tested to verify anti-islanding and power output quality. The City shall have the right to require additional testing at any time so long as the RRGS is interconnected to the City distribution system. All testing shall be performed in the presence of City personnel. Prior to testing the RRGS or associated equipment, the customer shall notify the City it intends to test the system.
