MEVELOPMENT AND PUBLIC WORKS
RE: 2818 &2760 Wayside Lane
Springfield OP.97477
Donna J Goles
I am writing to respond to your letter to the City of Springfield Dated June 13 2014
Please find the attached NEC : Code references that I have included .
In response to your question about Spoiled food .
I Did not request SUB to disconnect power at either address
The NEC: code Violations I have cited and included are not Trumped by a agreement
With SUB .
The Proof that the Mains need grouped together is clearly stated in the code references that I
have included NEC :230 .2 and 230.72 .
A remotely Readable Meter would not Satisfy the mentioned Code violations
I have not seen your control Panel or Stated that your brand of meter causes fires .
My Correction notices For this Project were Issued to the Electrical Contractor
Bear Mountain Electric On permit SPR 811-2014-987 .
Bear mountain Electric also purchased Permit SPR 8ll-2014-1091 For grouping the Meter
Mains.
Please work [-ith your Electrical Contractor To bring your project into compliance with
The current Electrical code .
If your Electrical Contractor Does not agree with the correction notices I have issued
There is a set procedure for their company to Make an appeal.
Please contact mountain Electric to resolve this issue
Thank you

applicable. In no case shall the rating be lower than
specified in230.79(A), G), (C), or (D).
(A) One.Circuit Installations. For installations to suppiy
only limited loads of a single branch circuit, the service
disconnecting means shall have a rating of not less than
15 amperes.
(B) Two-Circuit Installations. For installations
consisting of not more than two 2-wire branch circuits,
the service disconnecting means shall have a rating ofnot
less than 30 amperes.
(C) One.Family Dwellings. For a one-family dwelling,
the service disconnecting means shali have a rating ofnot
less than 100 amperes, 3-wire.
(D) All Others. For all other installations, the service
disconnecting means shall have a rating of not less than
60 amperes.
230.80 Combined Rating of Disconnects. Where the
service disconnecting means consists of more than one
switch or circuit breaker, as permitted by 230.71, the
combined ratings of all the switches or circuit breakers
used shall not be less than the rating requiredby 230.19'
230.81 Connection to Terminals. The service conductors
shall be connected to the service disconnecting means by

(2) Meters and meter sockets nominally rated not in
excess of 600 volts, provided all metal housings and
service enclosures are grounded in accordance with
Part VII and bonded in accordance with Part V of
Article 250.
(3) Meter disconnect switches nominaily rated not in
excess of 600 volts that have a short-circuit current
rating equai to or greater than the available short-
circuit current, provided ail metal housings and
service enclosures are grounded in accordance with
