[RE-wrenches] Supply side denial

[Glenn Burt]

So you are talking about a supply side connection, not a line side tap....Lets stick to code compliant terminology and not jargon as Mike Holt would say...-GlennSent from my 'smart'phone, so please excuse typos and spelling errors.------ Original message------From: drake.chamberlin at redwoodalliance.orgDate: Tue, Oct 27, 2020 7:43 PMTo: RE-wrenches;Cc: Subject:Re: [RE-wrenches] Supply side denial
AEP Won't let us do a line side tap. We can tap into the line side and install another service as permitted by the Rule of Six. I have used the Eaton, 4 space breaker box with 2 spaces for the service disconnect and 2 for the PV connection. 
 
Supposedly you can use a main breaker retainer, according to Eaton tech support, However, the box doesn't have holes for the screws, but you can drill a hole in the box and get one screw in. It seems to hold the breaker firmly.Some inspectors could have an issue with that.
 
Other manufacturers may have better solutions.

Hi All,
 
I have a utility that is hinting that they are going to deny my interconnection application with a supply side connection and require a load side.  Has anyone seen this before?
 
(Proposed interconnection would be with Milbank step lugs in a 200 A socket and a 60 A fused disconnect within 10 feet.)
 
If they refuse it, i am thinking that registering a complaint with the Wisconsin PSC may be appropriate.
