Download Three Phase Irrigation - Salmon River Electric

Effective April 1, 2016
Irrigation Three Phase Service
APPLICABILITY
Service under this schedule is applicable to services that are three phase, standard voltage, and supplied through one
point of delivery for farm and ranch members for the operation of irrigation pump motors. If service is provided at
primary voltage, the contract for service shall specify the point of delivery, establish all metering costs to be paid by the
member, and delineate ownership and control of such facilities.
AVAILABILITY
Service under this schedule is available at points on the Cooperative’s interconnected system where existing facilities of
adequate capacity and desired phase and voltage are available, and additional investment by the Cooperative for new
transmission, substation, or terminal facilities is not necessary to supply the desired service.
Irrigation is a seasonal rate which begins with the member’s meter reading for the April billing cycle and ends with the
member’s meter reading for the October billing cycle (March 25th – October 24th).
If electric service is not going to be used anytime during the irrigation season, the Cooperative will be notified so that electric
service can be disconnected. Service that has been disconnected for the season will be subject to the idle service fee.
Irrigation service used anytime throughout the irrigation season will be subject to paying the Minimum Charge in addition to
the charges for any power used.
METER READ
Meters will be read by the Cooperative on the 24th of each irrigation month at midnight.
BILLING DEMAND
The Billing Demand is the average kW supplied during the rolling 15 minute period at maximum use during the billing
period.
PHASE PROTECTION
The Cooperative will not be responsible for damage to member’s equipment caused by the loss of one or more phases
serving member’s equipment. It is the member’s responsibility to obtain and install adequate phase protection for all
three phase motors.
