A.Â
Service. Untransformed electric service from the three-phase high-tension supply line of the Borough at 34,500 volts shall be provided where the customer shall provide, install, own and maintain all transforming, switching and receiving equipment required. Any transforming equipment shall be provided, installed, owned and maintained by the customer or provided by the Borough as stated under Article VIII. High-tension service is available at the option of any customer having a peak demand of 750 kilowatts or more.
B.Â
Service rates. High-tension service rates shall be established and
changed from time to time by resolution of the Lansdale Borough Council.
The billing demand for a billing month shall be the greater
of the highest 15 minutes of demand measured during the billing month.
All measured demands shall be adjusted for power factor as provided
below.
The power factor shall be determined from time to time by test
(or by continuous monitoring) at a time when the customer's load is
not less than 2/3 of the maximum registered demand in the preceding
11 months. If this test power factor is less than 95%, the measured
demand shall be increased by the ratio between 95% and the power factor
determined by test to determine the billing demand.
If the electricity is measured at primary voltage (4,160 volts)
rather than at the 34,500 volts delivery voltage, all measurements
shall be increased by 2% to compensate for transformer losses.
