Wind machines thermostatically controlled with automatic reclosing switches must be equipped with suitable time-delay devices, as hereinafter specified, at the customer's expense, to permit the required adjustment of the time of reclosure after interruption of service. A suitable time-delay device, within the meaning of this rule, is a relay or other type of equipment that can be preset to delay with various time intervals the reclosing of the automatic switches (and the consequent starting up of the electric motors on the wind machines) and to stagger the reconnection of the load on SCE's system, and such device must be constructed so as effectively to permit a variable overall time interval of not less than five minutes with adjustable time increments of not greater than ten seconds. The particular setting to be utilized for each separate installation is to be determined by SCE from time to time in accordance with its operating requirements, and the customer is to obtain from SCE the setting for each installation as thus determined. D. Allowable Motor Starting Currents. 1. The starting current drawn from SCE's lines shall be considered the nameplate locked rotor current or that guaranteed by the manufacturer. At its option SCE may determine the starting current by test, using a stop ammeter with not more than 15% overswing or an oscillograph, disregarding the value shown for the first 10 cycles subsequent to energizing the motor. If the starting current for a single motor exceeds the value stated in the following tables, reduced voltage starting or other suitable means must be employed, at the customer's expense, to limit the current to the value specified, except where specific exemptions are provided in Sections D.2., 3., and 4.

Generating Facility Application and Interconnection Process (Continued) 1. Generating Facility Application Process (Continued) g. Producer Arranges for and Completes Testing of Generating Facility and, Where Applicable, Producer Installed Interconnection Facilities: New Generating Facilities and associated Interconnection Facilities must be tested to ensure compliance with the safety and reliability provisions of the Commission- approved rules and regulations prior to being operated in parallel with SCE's Distribution System. Certified Equipment will be subject to the tests specified in Section J. For non-Certified Equipment, the Producer will develop a written testing plan to be submitted to SCE for its review and acceptance. Alternatively, the Producer and SCE may agree to have SCE conduct the required testing at the Producer's expense. Where applicable, the test plan shall include the installation test procedure(s)published by the manufacturer(s) of the generation or interconnection equipment. Facility testing shall be conducted at a mutually agreeable time, and depending on who conducts the tests, SCE or Producer shall be given the opportunity to witness the tests. h. SCE Authorizes Interconnection: The Producer's Generating Facility shall be allowed to commence parallel operation with SCE's Distribution System upon satisfactory compliance with the terms of the Generating Facility Interconnection Agreement and any other applicable agreements as described in Section C.U. Compliance may include, but not be limited to, provision of any required documentation and satisfactorily completing any required inspections or tests as described herein or in the agreements formed between the Producer and SCE. A Producer shall not interconnect a Generating Facility unless it has received SCE's express written permission to do so. i. SCE Reconciles Costs and Payments: If the Producer selected a fixed price billing for the Interconnection Facilities or Distribution System Modifications, no reconciliation will be necessary. if the Producer selected actual cost billing, a true-up will be required. Within a reasonable time after the interconnection of a Producer's Generating Facility, SCE will reconcile its actual costs related to the Producer's facility against the generating facility application fee and any other advance payments made by the Producer.

Generating Facility Design and Operating Requirements (Continued) 1. General Interconnection and Protection Requirements (Continued) h. Suitable Equipment Required: Circuit breakers or other interrupting devices located at the Point of Common Coupling must be Certified or "Listed" (as defined in Article 100, the.Definitions Section of the National Electrical Code) as suitable for their intended application. This includes being capable of interrupting the maximum available fault current expected at their location.

Prevention of interference:, The Producer shall not operate equipment that superimposes a voltage or current upon SCE's Distribution System that interferes with SCE operations, service to SCE customers, or SCE Communication facilities: If such interference occurs,the Producer must diligently pursue and take corrective action at its own expense after being given notice and reasonable time to do so by SCE. If the . Producer does not take timely corrective action, or continues to operate the equipment causing interference without restriction or limit, SCE may,without liability, disconnect the Producer's equipment from SCE's Distribution System, in accordance with Section B.9 of this Rule. To eliminate undesirable interference caused by the operation of the Generating Facility, each Generating Unit in a Generating Facility shall meet the following criteria: a. Normal voltage operating range: The voltage operating range for a Generating Unit shall be selected as a protection function that responds to abnormal Distribution System conditions and not as a voltage regulation function. (1) Small systems (11 kVA or less): Generating Units connected to a Generating Facility with a Gross Nameplate capacity of 11 kVA or less shall be capable of operating within the limits normally experienced on SCE's Distribution System. The operating window shall be selected in a manner that minimizes nuisance tripping and range between 106 volts and 132 volts (88-110% of nominal voltage) on a 120-volt base. Generating Facilities shall cease to energize SCE lines whenever the voltage at the Point of Common Coupling deviates from the allowable voltage operating range. (2) Large Systems (greater than 11 kVA): SCE may have specific operating voltage ranges for larger Generating Facilities, and may require adjustable operating voltage settings for these larger systems. In the absence of such requirements, the above principles of operating between 88% and 110% of the appropriate interconnection voltage should be followed.

Prevention of interference. (Continued) a. Normal voltage operating range. (Continued) (3) Voltage Disturbances: System voltage assumes a nominal 120 V base. For the convenience of those wishing to translate these guidelines to voltage bases other than 120 volts, the limits will also be provided as approximate percentages. Generating Units should sense abnormal voltage and respond accordingly. The following conditions should be met, with voltages in RMS and treasured at the Point of Common Coupling: Table D.1 Maximum Trip Time' Voltage at Point of Common Coupling (Assuming 60 Cycles per Second? Less than 60 Volts 10 Cycles Greater than 60 volts but less than 106 volts 120 Cycles Greater than 106 volts but less than 132 volts Normal Operation Greater than 132 volts but less than 165 volts 120 Cycles (30 Cycles for facilities greater than 11kVA) Greater than 165 volts 6 Cycles "Trip time" refers to the time between the abnormal condition being applied and the Generating Facility ceasing to energize SCE's Distribution System. Certain circuits will actually remain connected to SCE's Distribution System to allow sensing of electrical conditions for use by the "reconnect"feature. The purpose of the allowed time delay is to ride through short-term disturbances to avoid excessive nuisance tripping. For Generating Facilities with a Gross Nameplate Rating of 11 WA capacity or less, the above set points are to be non-user adjustable. For Generating Facilities with a Gross nameplate Rating greater than 11 WA, different voltage set points and trip times from those in Table D.1 may be negotiated with SCE. b. Flicker: Any voltage flicker at the Point of Common Coupling caused by the Generating Facility should not exceed the limits defined by the "Maximum Borderline of Irritation Curve" identified in IEEE 519 (IEEE Recommended Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electric Power Systems, IEEE STD 519-1992, institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Piscataway, NJ. April 1992). This requirement is necessary to minimize the adverse voltage affects experienced by other customers on SCE's Distribution System. Induction Generating Units may be connected and brought up to synchronous speed(as an induction motor)provided these flicker limits are not exceeded.

Prevention of interference. (Continued) C. Frequency: SCE controls system frequency, and the Generating Facility shall operate 4n synchronism with SCE's Distribution System. Small Generating Facilities should have a fixed operating frequency range of 59.3-60.5 Hertz. The Generating Facility must cease to energize the system in a maximum of ten cycles should SCE remain outside of the frequency limits. The purpose of the time delay is to allow the Generating Facility to ride through short-term disturbances to avoid excessive nuisance tripping. SCE may require adjustable operating frequency settings for Generating Facilities larger than 11 kVA to assist the system during serious capacity shortages. Low frequency settings of 59.3 Hz and 58.0 Hz may be used with the consent of SCE. d. Harmonics: Harmonic distortion shall be in compliance with IEEE 519. Exception: The harmonic distortion of a Generating Facility located at a Customer's site shall be evaluated using the same criteria as the loads at that site. e. Direct Current Injection: Generating Facilities should not inject Direct Current greater than 0.5 o of rated output current into SCE's Distribution System under either normal or abnormal operating conditions. f. Power Factor: Each Generating Unit in a Generating Facility shall be capable of operating at some point within a range of a power factor of 0.9 (either leading or lagging). Operation outside this range is acceptable provided the reactive power of the Generating Facility is used to meet the reactive power needs of on-site loads or that reactive power is otherwise provided under tariff by SCE. The Producer shall notify SCE if it is using the Generating Facility for power factor correction. (Continued) (To be inserted by utility) Issued by (To be inserted by Cal.

Technology Specific Requirements (1) Limits Specific to Single-Phase Generating Facilities: For single-phase Generating Facilities connected to a shared single-phase secondary, the maximum capacity shall be 20 WA. Generating Facilities applied on a center-tap neutral 240-volt service must be installed such that no more than 6 WA of imbalance in capacity exists between the two sides of the 240-volt service. For dedicated distribution transformer services, the limit of a single-phase Generating Facility shall be the transformer nameplate rating. (2) Three-Phase Synchronous Generating Facilities_ For three phase Generating Facilities, the Generating Facility circuit breakers shall be three-phase devices with electronic or electromechanical control. The Producer shall be responsible for properly synchronizing its Generating Facility with SCE's Distribution System by means of either a manual or automatic synchronizing function. Automatic synchronizing is required for all synchronous Generating Units,which have a Short Circuit Contribution Ratio (SCCR) exceeding 0.05. A Generating Unit whose SCCR exceeds 0.05 shall be equipped with Protective Functions suitable for detecting loss of synchronism and rapidly disconnecting the Generating Facility from SCE's Distribution System. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Producer and SCE, synchronous Generating Units shall automatically regulate power factor, not voltage, while operating in parallel with SCE's Distribution System. Power system stabilization is specifically not required for Generating Facilities under 10 MW Gross Nameplate Capacity. Synchronization means that at the time of connection, the frequency difference shall be less than 0.2 Hz, the voltage difference shall be less than 10%, and the phase angle difference shall be less than 10 degrees.

Control,Protection and Safety Equipment Requirements (Continued) a. Technology Specific Requirements (Continued) (3) Induction Generators: Induction generator Generating Units do not require separate synchronizing equipment. Starting or rapid load fluctuations on induction generators can adversely impact SCE's Distribution System's voltage. Corrective step-switched capacitors or other techniques may be .necessary and may cause undesirable ferro-resonance. When these counter measures (e.g. additional capacitors) are installed on the Producer's side of the Point of Common Coupling, SCE must review these measures. Additional equipment may be required to resolve this problem as determined in an Interconnection Study. (4) Inverter Systems: Utility-interactive inverters do not require separate synchronizing equipment. Non-utility-interactive or "stand-alone" inverters shall not be used for parallel operation with SCE's Distribution System. b. Supplemental Generating Facility Requirements (1) Unintended islanding for Generating Facilities that Fail the Export Screen: Generating Facilities must mitigate their potential contribution to an Unintended Island. This can be accomplished by one of the following options: (1) incorporating certified Non-Islanding control functions into the Protective Functions, (2) verifying that local loads sufficiently exceed the load carrying capability of the Generating Facility, or (3) incorporating transfer trip or an equivalent function in the Protective Functions, (2) Fault Detection: A Generating Facility with an SCCR exceeding 0.1 or that does not meet any one of the options for detecting Unintended Islands in D.3.b.1, shall be equipped with Protective Functions designed to detect Distribution System faults, both line-to-line and line-to-ground, and promptly remove the Generating Facility from SCE's Distribution System in the event of a fault. For a Generating Facility that cannot detect these faults within two seconds, transfer trip or an equivalent function may be required. Reclose-blacking of SCE's affected recloser(s) may also be required by SCE for Generating Facilities that exceed 15% of the peak load on the Line Section.

Is the PCC on a Networked Secondary System? • If No, continue to next screen. • If Yes, Generating Facility does not qualify for Simplified Interconnection. Perform supplemental review. Significance: Special considerations must be given to Generating Facilities proposed to be installed on networked secondary distribution systems because of the design and operational aspects of network protectors. There are no such considerations for radial distribution systems. 4. Will power be exported across the PCC? • If No, Generating Facility must incorporate one of the following four options: Option 1: To insure power is never exported, a reverse power Protective Function must be implemented at the PCC. Default setting shall be 0.1% (export) of transformer rating, with a maximum 2.0 second time delay. Option 2: To insure at least a minimum import of power, an under-power Protective Function must implemented at the PCC. Default setting shall be 5% (import) of Generating Facility Gross Nameplate Rating, with maximum 2.0 second time delay. Option 3: To limit the incidental export of power, all of the following conditions must be met: a) The aggregate capacity of the Generating Facility must be no more than 25% of the nominal ampere rating of the Producer's service equipment; b) The aggregate capacity of the Generating Facility must be no more than 50% of the Producer's service transformer rating (This capacity requirement does not apply to customers taking primary service without an intervening transformer); c) The Generating Facility must be certified as Non4slanding. Option 4: To insure that the relative size (capacity) of the Generating Facility compared to facility load results in no export of power without the use of additional devices, the Generating Facility capacity must be no greater than 50% of the Producer's verifiable minimum load.

Initial Review Process For Applications To Interconnect Generating Facilities 4. Will power be exported across the PCC? (Continued) Significance: a. If it can be assured that the Generating Facility will not export power, SCE's Distribution System does not need to be studied for load-carrying capability or Generating Facility power flow effects on SCE voltage regulators as the Generating Facility will simply be reducing load on SCE's Distribution System. b. This Screen permits the use of reverse-power relaying at the PCC as positive Anti-Islanding protection. 5. Is the Interconnection Equipment Certified for the Application or does the Interconnection Equipment have Interim SCE Approval? • If Yes, continue to next screen. • If No, Generating Facility does not qualify for Simplified Interconnection. Perform supplemental review. Significance: If the Generating Facility has been Certified or previously approved by SCE, SCE does not need to repeat its review and/or test of the Generating Facility's Protective Functions scheme. Site Commissioning Testing may still be required to insure that the system is connected properly and that the protective functions are working properly. Certification or SCE approval indicates the following criteria have been tested and verified: Basic protective function requirements met. - Harmonic distortion limits met. - Synchronizing requirements met. - Power Factor regulation requirements met. - Non-Islanding requirements met. - If used, reverse power function requirement met. - if used, under-power function requirement met.

Is the aggregate Generating Facility Capacity on the Line Section less than 15% of Line Section Peak Load? • If Yes, continue to next screen. • If No,Generating Facility does not qualify for Simplified Interconnection. Perform supplemental review to determine cumulative impact on Line Section. Significance: a. Low penetration of Generating Facility installations will have a minimal impact on the operation and load restoration efforts of SCE's Distribution System. b. The operating requirements for a high penetration of Generating Facilities may be different since the impact on SCE's Distribution System will no longer be minimal, therefore requiring additional study or controls. 7. Is the Starting Voltage Drop screen met? • If Yes, continue to next screen. • If No, Generating Facility does not qualify for Simplified Interconnection. Perform supplemental review. Note: This screen only applies to Generating Facilities that start by motoring the Generating Unit(s). SCE has two options in determining whether Starting Voltage Drop could be a problem. The option to be used is at SCE's discretion: Option 1: SCE may determine that the Generating Facility's starting Inrush Current is equal to or less than the continuous ampere rating of the Producer's Service Equipment. Option 2: SCE may determine the impedances of the service distribution transformer (if present) and the secondary conductors to Producer's Service Equipment and perform a voltage drop calculation. Alternatively, SCE may use tables or nomographs to determine the voltage drop. Voltage drops caused by starting a Generating Unit as a motor must be less than 2.5% for primary interconnections and 5% for secondary interconnections.

Introduction This Appendix describes the test procedures and requirements for equipment used for the Interconnection of Generating Facilities to SCE's Distribution System. included are Type Testing, Production Testing, Commissioning Testing, and Periodic Testing. The procedures listed rely heavily on those described in appropriate Underwriters Laboratory (UL), Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) documents—most notably UL 1741 and IEEE 929, as well as the testing described in May 1999 New York Standardized Interconnection Requirements. These procedures and requirements were developed prior to the completion of IEEE P.1547 Standard for Distributed Resources Interconnected with Electric Power Systems, and should be revisited once that standard is published. The tests described here, together with the technical requirements in Section D of this Rule, are intended to provide assurance that the Generating Facility's equipment will not adversely affect SCE's Distribution System and that a Generating Facility will cease providing power to SCE's Distribution System under abnormal conditions. The tests were developed assuming a low level of Generating Facility penetration or number of connections to SCE's Distribution System. At high levels of Generating Facility penetration, additional requirements and corresponding test procedures may need to be defined. This test specification also provides a means of "certifying" equipment. Once a Generating Unit or device has been Certified per this Certification process, it may be considered to be suitable for use as part of a Generating Facility interconnected with SCE's Distribution System. Subject to the exceptions described in this Appendix,SCE will not require a Producer to repeat the design review or test the Protective Functions of equipment that has been Certified. It should be noted the Certification process is intended to facilitate Generating Facility interconnections. Certification is not a prerequisite to interconnect a Generating Facility. The use of non-certified equipment may be acceptable to SCE subject to testing and approval by SCE as discussed below. 2. Certification Criteria Equipment tested and approved (e.g. "Listed") by an accredited, nationally recognized testing laboratory ("NRTL") as having met both the Type Testing and Production Testing requirements described in this document is considered to be "Certified Equipment" for purposes of Interconnection with SCE's Distribution System. Certification may apply to either a pre-packaged system or an assembly of components that address the necessary functions. Type Testing may be done in the manufactures' factory or test laboratory, or in the field. At the discretion of the testing laboratory, field-certification may apply only to the particular installation tested. In such cases, some or all of the tests may need to be repeated at other installations. (Continued) (To be inserted by utility) Issued by (To be inserted by Cal. PUC) Advice 1498-E-A John R.

Certification Criteria (Continued) For non-certified equipment, some or all of the tests described in this document may be required by SCE for each Generating Facility installation. The manufacturer or another laboratory acceptable to SCE may perform these tests. Test results for non- certified equipment must be submitted to SCE as part of the application process for SCE's review and approval under the supplemental review.

Type Testing (Continued) f. In-rush Current Test Generation equipment that utilizes SCE power to motor up to speed will be tested using the procedure defined in Section J.7.b. to determine the maximum current drawn during this startup process. The resulting In-rush Current is used to estimate the starting voltage drop. g. Surge Withstand Capability Test interconnection equipment shall be tested for surge withstand capability (SWC), both oscillatory and fast transient, in accordance with the test procedure defined in IEEE/ANSI C62.45 using the peak values defined in IEEEIANSI C62.41 Tables 1 and 2 for location category B3. An acceptable result occurs even if the device is damaged by the surge, but is unable to operate or energize SCE's Distribution System. If the device remains operable after being subject to the surge conditions, previous type tests related to SCE's protection and power quality will need to be repeated to ensure the unit will still pass those tests following the surge test. h. Synchronization Test This test verifies that the unit synchronizes within the specified voltage/frequency/phase angle requirements. It is applied to synchronous generators and inverters capable of operating as voltage-source while connected to the SCE. This test is not necessary for induction generators or current-source inverters. The test will start with only one of the three parameters: 1) voltage difference between Generating Facility and SCE's Distribution System, 2) frequency difference, or 3) phase angle outside of the synchronization specification. Initiate the synchronization routine and verify that the Generating Facility is brought within specification prior to synchronization. Repeat the test five times for each of the three parameters. For manual synchronization with synch check or manual control with auto synchronization, the test must verify that paralleling does not occur until the parameters are brought within specifications. 4. Production Testing As a minimum, the Utility Voltage and Frequency Variation Test procedure described in UL1741 under Manufacturing and Production Tests, Section 68 shall be performed as part of routine production (100 percent) on all equipment used to interconnect Generating Facilities to SCE's Distribution System.

Commissioning Testing Commissioning Testing, where required, will be performed on-site- to verify protective settings and functionality. Upon initial Parallel Operation of a Generating Facility,or any time interface hardware or software is changed that may affect the functions listed below, a Commissioning Test must be performed. An individual qualified in testing protective equipment (professional engineer, factory-certified technician, or licensed electrician with experience in testing protective equipment) must perform Commissioning Testing in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended test procedure to prove the settings and requirements of this Rule. SCE has the right to witness Commissioning Tests as described below, or to require written certification by the installer describing which tests were performed and their results. Functions to be tested during commissioning, particularly with respect to non-certified equipment, may consist of the following: a. Over and under-voltage b. Over and under-frequency C. Anti-Islanding function (if applicable) d. Non-Exporting function (if applicable) e. Inability to energize dead fine f. Time delay on restart after utility source is stable g. Utility system fault detection (if used) h. Synchronizing controls (if applicable) i.

Certified Equipment Generating Facilities qualifying for Simplified interconnection incorporate Certified Equipment that have, at a minimum, passed the Type Test and Production Tests described in this document and are judged to have little or no potential impact on SCE's Distribution System. For such Generating Facilities, it is necessary to perform only the following tests: (1) Protection settings that have been changed after factory testing will require field verification. Tests will be performed using injected secondary quantities, applied waveforms, a test connection using a generator to simulate abnormal utility voltage or frequency, or varying the set points to show that the device trips at the measured (actual) utility voltage or frequency. (2) The Non-Islanding function will be checked by operating a load break disconnect switch to verify the interconnection equipment ceases to energize the line and does not re-energize for the required time delay after the switch is closed. (3) The Non-Exporting function will be checked using secondary injection techniques. This function may also be tested by adjusting the Generating Facility output and local loads to verify that the applicable Non-Exporting criteria(i.e., reverse power or under power) are met. The supplemental review or an Interconnection Study may impose additional components or additional testing. b. Non-Certified Equipment Non-certified equipment shall be subjected to the appropriate tests described in Type Testing (Section J.3.) as well as those described in Certified Equipment Commissioning Test (Section J.5.a.). With SCE's approval, these tests may be performed in the factory, in the field as part of commissioning, or a combination of both. SCE, at its discretion, may also approve a reduced set of tests for a particular application or, for example, if it determines it has sufficient experience with the equipment.

Verification of Settings Verifying final protective settings If the testing is part of the commissioning process, then, at the completion of such testing, the Producer shall confirm all devices are set to SCE-approved settings . This step shall be documented in the Commissioning Test Certification. d. Trip Tests Interconnection protective devices (e.g. reverse power relays) that have not previously been tested as part of the interconnection system with their associated interrupting devices (e.g. contactor or circuit breaker) shall be trip tested during commissioning. The trip test shall be adequate to prove that the associated interrupting devices open when the protective devices operate. Interlocking circuits between protective devices or between interrupting devices shall be similarly tested unless they are part of a system that has been tested and approved during manufacture. e. in-service tests Interconnection protective devices that have not previously been tested as part of the interconnection system with their associated instrument transformers or that are wired in the field shall be given an in-service test during commissioning. This test will verify proper wiring, polarity, CT/PT ratios, and proper operation of the measuring circuits. The in-service test shall be made with the power system energized and carrying a known level of current. A measurement shall be made of the magnitude and phase angle of each ac voltage and current connected to the protective device and the results compared to expected values. For protective devices with built-in metering functions that report current and voltage magnitudes and phase angles, or magnitudes of current, voltage, and real and reactive power, the metered values may be used for in-service testing. Otherwise, portable ammeters, voltmeters, and phase-angle meters shall be used. (Continued) (To be inserted by utility) Issued by (To be inserted by Cal. PUC) Advice 1498-E-A John R.

Periodic Testing Periodic Testing of interconnection-related Protective Functions shall be performed as specified by the manufacturer, or at least every four years. All periodic tests prescribed by the manufacturer shall be performed. The Producer shall maintain periodic test reports or a log for inspection by SCE. Periodic Testing conforming to SCE test intervals for the particular line section may be specified by SCE under special circumstances, such as high fire hazard areas. A system that depends upon a battery for trip power shall be checked and logged once per month for proper voltage. Once every four years,the battery must be either replaced or a discharge test performed. 7. Supplemental Testing Procedures This section describes the additional Type Tests necessary to qualify a device as Certified for use on SCE and other California Electric Corporation's Distribution Systems. These Type Tests are not contained in Underwriters Laboratories UL 1741 Standard Inverters, Converters and Controllers for Use in Independent Power Systems, or other referenced standards, but are considered necessary for Certification by SCE and the other Electrical Corporations. a. Non-Exporting Test Procedures The Non-Exporting test is intended to verify the operation of relays, controllers and inverters designed to limit the export of power and certify the equipment as meeting the requirements of Step 2, Options i and 2, of the Initial Review Process. Tests are provided for discrete relay packages and for controllers and inverters that include the intended function. (1) Reverse Power Relay Test This version of the Non-Exporting test procedure is intended for stand-alone reverse power and under power relay packages provided to meet the requirements of Options 1 and 2 of the Non-Exporting Screen. It should be understood that in the reverse power application, the relay will provide a trip output with power in the export (toward the SCE Distribution System)direction.

Non-Exporting Test Procedures (Continued) (1) Reverse Power Relay Test (Continued) Step 1: Power Flow Test at Minimum, Midpoint and Maximum Pickup Level Settings Determine the appropriate secondary pickup current for the desired export power flow of 0.5 secondary watts (the agreed- upon minimum pickup setting, assumes 5 Amp and 120V CT1PT secondary). Apply nominal voltage with minimum current setting at zero (0) degrees in the trip direction. Increase the current to pickup level. Observe the relay's (LCD or computer display) indication of power values. Note the indicated power level at which the relay trips. The power indication should be within 2 percent of the expected power. For relays with adjustable settings, repeat this test at the midpoint, and maximum settings. Repeat at phase angles of 90, 180 and 270 degrees and verify that the relay does not operate(measured watts will be zero or negative). Step 2: Leading Power Factor Test Apply rated voltage with a minimum pickup current setting (calculated value for system application) and apply a leading power factor load current in the non-trip direction (current lagging voltage by 135 degrees). Increase the current to relay rated current and verify that the relay does not operate. For relay's with adjustable settings, this test should be repeated at the minimum, midpoint, and maximum settings. Step 3 Minimum Power Factor Test At nominal voltage and with the minimum pickup (or ranges) determined in Step 1, adjust the current phase angle to 84 or 276 degrees. Increase the current level to pickup (about 10 times higher than at 0 degrees) and verify that the relay operates. Repeat for phase angles of 90, 180 and 270 degrees and verify that the relay does not operate. (Continued) (To be inserted by utility) Issued by (To be inserted by Cal. PUC) Advice 1498-E-A John R.

Generation Agreement: A Generation Agreement with the customer shall be required for service under this schedule where the cogeneration or small power production source is connected for parallel operation with the service of the Company. 3. Standby Demand: The level of standby demand shall be set forth in the Generation Agreement or Contract for Electric Service. The level of standby demand shall be determined by the Company and shall be the lower of (a) the nameplate capacity of the customer's generating facility; or(b)the Company's estimate of the customer's peak demand. The Company reserves the right to install, at the customer's expense, a demand meter to measure the customers demand. The highest recorded demand shall be used to determine the customers level of standby demand. 4. Allowance for Maintenance. After a customer has received service under this schedule for a period of six months, the added demand created by scheduled maintenance outages of the generating facility will be ignored for purposes of determining the Time Related Component of the demand charges under the applicable regular service rate schedule in months acceptable to the Company upon advance notice and subject to prevailing system peak conditions, subject to the conditions stated herein. Such conditions are that customer schedule and perform maintenance in accordance with the advance notice, outage duration, and outage frequency requirements set forth in the Generation Agreement, and following the period of scheduled maintenance, customer shows, to the satisfaction of the Company, what part of the recorded maximum demand utilized for billing in any of the months was added demand due to outage for such scheduled maintenance. This condition is applicable for one continuous outage per year of up to 30 consecutive days. The Company may, at its option. require that the customer defer scheduled maintenance. If scheduled maintenance is deferred, the Company will allow an outage for maintenance at a later date with allowance for maintenance in accordance herewith. Notice of such deferral. if required, shall be provided to the customer not less than 60 days prior to customers scheduled outage date, except in the event of emergency. The Allowance for Maintenance applies only to customers served on a rate schedule which has a Time Related Component within the demand charge. 5.

Billing: A Customers bill is first calculated according to the total rates and conditions above. The following adjustments are made depending on the option applicable to the customer. a. Bundled Service Customers receive supply and delivery services solely from Edison. The Customer's bill is based on the total rates set forth above. The Power Exchange (supply) component is equal to the Averaged Power Exchange (PX) Energy Charge as set forth in Schedule PX- b. Direct Access Customers purchase energy from an Energy Service Provider and continue receiving delivery services from Edison. The Averaged PX Energy Charge is determined as specified for a Bundled Service Customer. The customers bill will be calculated as for a Bundled Service Customer, but the Customer will receive a credit for the Averaged PX Energy Charge. C. Hourly PX Pricing Option Customers receive supply and delivery services solely from Edison. A Customer taking Hourly PX Pricing Option service must have an interval meter installed at its premise to record hourly usage, since PX Energy Costs change hourly. If such metering is not currently installed, it shall be installed at the customer's expense before Hourly PX Pricing can be provided. Edison's charges for such metering are determined as set forth in Rule 2. The bill for a Hourly PX Pricing Option Customer is determined by calculating the bill as if it were for a Bundled Service Customer, then crediting the bill by the amount of the Averaged PX Energy Charge, as determined for Bundled Service and Direct Access Customers, then adding the hourly PX Energy Cost amount which is determined by multiplying the hourly energy used in the billing period by the hourly PX Energy Cost determined as set forth in Section 1 of Schedule PX, and the appropriate hourly Line Loss Adjustment Factors as set forth in Section 3 of Schedule PX, and the Uncollectibles expense factor of 1.00313. 7. Generation Charge: The generation charge is calculated based on the total rate less the sum of. Distribution, Transmission, Public Purpose Programs, Nuclear Decommissioning, and Fixed Transition Amount (where applicable) charges, the Transmission Revenue Balancing Account Adjustment (TRBAA), and the Public Utilities Commission Reimbursement Fee. The Competition Transition Charge (CTC) is calculated residually by subtracting the Averaged PX Energy Charge calculated as set forth in Schedule PX from the generation charge (See Rate Components Table). 8. Negotiating of CTC Payment Method: Nothing in this rate schedule prohibits a marketer or broker from negotiating with Customers the method by which their Customer will pay the CTC.

Where the Departing Load is a result of an event that also reduces tha amount of transition costs incurred by Edison, the amount of the CTC will be adjusted by a credit in the amount of the transition costs avoided. The amount of the credit will be equal to the difference between the amount of transition costs before the occurrences of the specific event and the amount of transition costs after the event has occurred. SPECIAL CONDITIONS 1. Departing Load. Departing Load is that portion of Edison's customer's electric load for which the customer, on or after December 20, 1995: (a) discontinues or reduces its purchases of electricity supply and delivery services from Edison; (b) purchases or consumes electricity supplied and delivered by sources other than Edison to replace such Edison purchases: and (c) remains physically located at the same location or within Edison's service area as it existed on December 20, 1995. Reduction in load qualifies as Departing Load only to the extent that such load is subsequently served with electricity from a source other than Edison and is not residential load served by a solar electrical generating facility with a capacity of not more than 10 kilowatts. 2. Bill Calculation: The Departing Load Customer's CTC, NDC, PPPC, and FTAC obligations will be based on metered consumption. If reliable metered consumption information is not made available to Edison, Edison will estimate the consumption based on that customer's historical load at the time the customer discontinues or reduces retail service with Edison. Further, when Departing Load previously served by Edison is served by another entity whose charges include the PPPC, such Departing Load Customer will not be billed the PPPC by Edison. 3.

At the option of SCE, the above voltage and phase specifications may be modified because of service conditions at the location involved. C. Motor Protection and Equipment. Customer's motor equipment must conform with the following requirements: 1. Motors that cannot be safely subjected to full rated voltage on starting or that drive machinery of such a nature that the machinery, itself, or the product it handles will not permit the motor to resume normal speed upon the restoration of normal supply voltage shall be equipped with devices that will disconnect them from the line upon failure of supply voltage and that will prevent the automatic reconnection of the motors upon restoration of normal supply voltage. 2. All motors of 1 hp or larger shall be equipped with thermal relays, fuses, or other automatic overcurrent interrupting devices to disconnect completely such motors from the line as a protection against damage due to overheating. 3. Three-phase motors driving elevators, hoists, tramways, cranes, conveyers, or other equipment, which would create hazard to life in the event of uncontrolled reversal of motor rotation; shall be provided with reverse-phase and open-phase protection to disconnect completely the motors from the line in the event of phase reversal or loss of one phase.

Wind machines thermostatically controlled with automatic reclosing switches must be equipped with suitable time-delay devices, as hereinafter specified, at the customer's expense, to permit the required adjustment of the time of reclosure after interruption of service. A suitable time-delay device, within the meaning of this rule, is a relay or other type of equipment that can be preset to delay with various time intervals the reclosing of the automatic switches (and the consequent starting up of the electric motors on the wind machines) and to stagger the reconnection of the load on SCE's system, and such device must be constructed so as effectively to permit a variable overall time interval of not less than five minutes with adjustable time increments of not greater than ten seconds. The particular setting to be utilized for each separate installation is to be determined by SCE from time to time in accordance with its operating requirements, and the customer is to obtain from SCE the setting for each installation as thus determined. D. Allowable Motor Starting Currents. 1. The starting current drawn from SCE's lines shall be considered the nameplate locked rotor current or that guaranteed by the manufacturer. At its option SCE may determine the starting current by test, using a stop ammeter with not more than 15% overswing or an oscillograph, disregarding the value shown for the first 10 cycles subsequent to energizing the motor. If the starting current for a single motor exceeds the value stated in the following tables, reduced voltage starting or other suitable means must be employed, at the customer's expense, to limit the current to the value specified, except where specific exemptions are provided in Sections D.2., 3., and 4.

Suitable Equipment Required: Circuit breakers or other interrupting devices located at the Point of Common Coupling must be Certified or "Listed" (as defined in Article 100, the Definitions Section of the National Electrical Code) as suitable for their intended application. This includes being capable of interrupting the maximum available fault current expected at their location.

Prevention of- interference: The Producer shall not operate equipment that superimposes a voltage or current upon SCE's Distribution System that interferes with SCE operations, service to SCE customers, or SCE communication facilities. - if such interference occurs, the Producer must diligently pursue and take corrective action at its own expense after being given notice and reasonable time to do so by SCE. If the Producer does not take timely corrective action, or continues to operate the equipment Causing interference without restriction or limit, SCE may, without liability, disconnect the Producer's equipment from SCE's Distribution System, in accordance with Section B.9 of this Rule. To eliminate undesirable interference caused by the operation of the Generating Facility, each Generating Unit in a Generating Facility shall meet the following criteria: a. Normal voltage operating range: The voltage operating range for a Generating Unit shall be selected as a protection function that responds to abnormal Distribution System conditions and not as a voltage regulation function. (1) Small systems (11 kVA or less): Generating Units connected to a Generating Facility with a Gross Nameplate capacity of 11 kVA or less shall be capable of operating within the limits normally experienced on SCE's Distribution System. The operating window shall be selected in a manner that minimizes nuisance tripping and range between 106 volts and 132 volts (88-110% of nominal voltage) on a 120-volt base. Generating Facilities shall cease to energize SCE lines whenever the voltage at the Point of Common Coupling deviates from the allowable voltage operating range. (2) Large Systems (greater than 11 kVA): SCE may have specific operating voltage ranges for larger Generating Facilities, and may require adjustable operating voltage settings for these larger systems. In the absence of such requirements, the above principles of operating between 88% and 110% of the appropriate interconnection voltage should be followed.

Prevention of interference. (Continued) a. Normal voltage operating range. (Continued) (3) Voltage Disturbances: System voltage assumes a nominal 120 V base. For the convenience of those wishing to translate these guidelines to voltage bases other than 120 volts, the limits will also be provided as approximate percentages. Generating Units should sense abnormal voltage and respond accordingly. The following conditions should be met, with voltages in RMS and measured at the Point of Common Coupling: Table D.1 Maximum Trip Time' Voltage at Point of Common Coupling (Assuming 60 Cycles per Second) Less than 60 Volts 10 Cycles Greater than 60 volts but less than 106 volts 120 Cycles Greater than 106 volts but less than 132 volts Normal Operation Greater than 132 volts but less than 165 volts 120 Cycles (30 Cycles for faciidies greater than 11WA) Greater than 165 volts 6 Cycles "Trip time" refers to the time between the abnormal condition being applied and the Generating Facility ceasing to energize SCE's Distribution System. Certain circuits will actually remain connected to SCE's Distribution System to allow sensing of electrical conditions for use by the 'reconnect"feature. The purpose of the allowed time delay is to ride through short-term disturbances to avoid excessive nuisance tripping. For Generating Facilities with a Gross Nameplate Rating of 11 WA capacity or less, the above set points are to be non-user adjustable. For Generating Facilities with a Gross nameplate Rating greater than 11 WA,different voltage set points and trip times from those in Table D.1 may be negotiated with SCE. b. Flicker: Any voltage flicker at the Point of Common Coupling caused by the Generating Facility should not exceed the limits defined by the "Maximum Borderline of Irritation Curve" identified in IEEE 519 (IEEE Recommended Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electric Power Systems, IEEE STD 519-1992, Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Piscataway, NJ. April 1992). This requirement is necessary to minimize the adverse voltage affects experienced by other customers on SCE's Distribution System. induction Generating Units may be connected and brought up to synchronous speed(as an induction motor)provided these flicker limits are not exceeded.

Prevention of interference. (Continued) C. Frequency: SCE controls system frequency, and the Generating Facility shall operate in synchronism with SCE's Distribution System. Small Generating Facilities should have a fixed operating frequency range of 59.3-60.5 Hertz. The Generating Facility must cease to energize the system in a maximum of ten cycles should SCE remain outside of the frequency limits. The purpose of the time delay is to allow the Generating Facility to ride through short-term disturbances to avoid excessive nuisance tripping. SCE may require adjustable operating frequency settings for Generating Facilities larger than f 1 WA to assist the system during serious capacity shortages. Low frequency settings of 59.3 Hz and 58.0 Hz may be used with the consent of SCE. d. Harmonics: Harmonic distortion shall be in compliance with IEEE 519. Exception: The harmonic distortion of a Generating Facility located at a Customers site shall be evaluated using the same criteria as the loads at that site. e. Direct Current Injection: Generating Facilities should not inject Direct Current greater than 0.5% of rated output current into SCE's Distribution System under either normal or abnormal operating conditions. f. Power Factor: Each Generating Unit in a Generating Facility shall be capable of operating at some point within a range of a power factor of 0.9 (either leading or lagging). Operation outside this range is acceptable provided the reactive power of the Generating Facility is used to meet the reactive power needs of on-site loads or that reactive power is otherwise provided under tariff by SCE. The Producer shall notify SCE if it is using the Generating Facility for power factor correction. (Continued) (To be inserted by utility) Issued by (To be inserted by Cal.

Control, Protection and Safety Equipment Requirements a. Technology Specific Requirements (1) Limits Specific to Single-Phase Generating Facilities: For single-phase Generating Facilities connected to a shared single-phase secondary, the maximum capacity shall be 20 kVA. Generating Facilities applied on a center-tap neutral 240-volt service must be installed such that no more than 6 kVA of imbalance in capacity exists between the two sides of the 240-volt service. For dedicated distribution transformer services,the limit of a single-phase Generating Facility shall be the transformer nameplate rating. (2) Three-Phase Synchronous Generating Facilities: For three phase Generating Facilities, the Generating Facility circuit breakers shall be three-phase devices with electronic or electromechanical control, The Producer shall be responsible for properly synchronizing its Generating Facility with SCE's Distribution System by means of either a manual or automatic synchronizing function. Automatic synchronizing is required tar all synchronous Generating Units, which have a Short Circuit Contribution Ratio (SCCR) exceeding 0.05. A Generating Unit whose SCCR exceeds 0.05 shall be equipped with Protective Functions suitable for detecting loss of synchronism and rapidly disconnecting the Generating Facility from SCE's Distribution System. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Producer and SCE, synchronous Generating Units shall automatically regulate power factor, not voltage, while operating in parallel with SCE's Distribution System. Power system stabilization is specifically not required for Generating Facilities under 10 MW Gross Nameplate Capacity. Synchronization means that at the time of connection, the frequency difference shall be less than 0.2 Hz, the voltage difference shall be less than 10%, and the phase angle difference shall be less than 10 degrees.

Control, Protection and Safety Equipment Requirements (Continued) a. Technology Specific Requirements (Continued) (3) Induction Generators: induction generator Generating Units do not require separate synchronizing equipment. Starting or rapid load fluctuations on induction generators can adversely impact SCE's Distribution System's voltage. Corrective step-switched capacitors or other techniques may be necessary and may cause undesirable ferro-resonance. When these counter measures (e.g. additional capacitors) are installed on the Producers side of the Point of Common Coupling, SCE must review these measures. Additional equipment may be required to resolve this problem as determined in an interconnection Study. (4) Inverter Systems: Utility-interactive inverters do not require separate synchronizing equipment. Non-utility-interactive or "stand-alone" inverters shall not be used for parallel operation with SCE's Distribution System. b. Supplemental Generating Facility Requirements (1) Unintended lslanding for Generating Facilities that Fail the Export Screen: Generating Facilities must mitigate their potential contribution to an Unintended Island. This can be accomplished by one of the following options: (1) incorporating certified Non-lsland'ng control functions into the Protective Functions, (2) verifying that local loads sufficiently exceed the load carrying capability of the Generating Facility, or (3) incorporating transfer trip or an equivalent function in the Protective Functions. (2) Fault Detection: A Generating Facility with an SCCR exceeding 0.1 or that does not meet any one of the options for detecting Unintended Islands in 0.3.b.1. shall be equipped with Protective Functions designed to detect Distribution System faults, both line-to-line and line-to-ground, and promptly remove the Generating Facility from SCE's Distribution System in the event of a fault. For a Generating Facility that cannot detect these faults within two seconds, transfer trip or an equivalent function may be required. Reclose-blocking of SCE's affected reclosar(s) may also be required by SCE for Generating Facilities that exceed 15% of the peak load on the Line Section.

Significance: Special considerations must be given to Generating Facilities proposed to be installed on networked secondary distribution systems because of the design and operational aspects of network protectors. There are no such considerations for radial distribution systems. 4. Will power be exported across the PCC? If No, Generating Facility must incorporate one of the following four options: Option 1: To insure power is never exported, a reverse power Protective Function must be implemented at the PCC. Default setting shall be 0.1% (export) of transformer rating, with a maximum 2.0 second time delay. Option 2. To insure at least a minimum import of power, an under-power Protective Function must implemented at the PCC. Default setting shall be 5% (import) of Generating Facility Gross Nameplate Rating, with maximum 2.0 second time delay. Option 3: To limit the incidental export of power, all of the following conditions must be met: a) The aggregate capacity of the Generating Facility must be no more than 25% of the nominal ampere rating of the Producer's service equipment; b) The aggregate capacity of the Generating Facility must be no more than 50% of the Producer's service transformer rating (This capacity requirement does not apply to customers taking primary service without an intervening transformer)', c) The Generating Facility must be certified as Non-lslanding. Option 4: To insure that the relative size (capacity) of the Generating Facility compared to facility load results in no export of power without the use of additional devices, the Generating Facility capacity must be no greater than 50% of the Producer's verifiable minimum load.

Significance: If the Generating Facility has been Certified or previously approved by SCE, SCE does not need to repeat its review and/or test of the Generating Facility's Protective Functions scheme. Site Commissioning Testing may still be required to insure that the system is connected properly and that the protective functions are working properly. Certification or SCE approval indicates the following criteria have been tested and verified: - Basic protective function requirements met. - Harmonic distortion limits met. - Synchronizing requirements met. - Power Factor regulation requirements met. - Non-Islanding requirements met. - If used, reverse power function requirement met. - If used, under-power function requirement met.

The option to be used is at SCE's discretion: Option 1: SCE may determine that the Generating Facility's starting inrush Current is equal to or less than the continuous ampere rating of the Producer's Service Equipment, Option 2. SCE may determine the impedances of the service distribution transformer (if present) and the secondary conductors to Producer's Service Equipment and perform a'voltage drop calculation. Alternatively, SCE may use tables or nomography to determine the voltage drop. Voltage drops caused by starting a Generating Unit as a motor must be less than 2.5% for primary interconnections and 5% for secondary interconnections.

Introduction This Appendix describes the test procedures and requirements for equipment.used for the Interconnection of Generating Facilities to SCE's Distribution System. Included are Type Testing, Production Testing, Commissioning Testing, and Periodic Testing. The procedures listed rely heavily on those described in appropriate Underwriters Laboratory (UL), Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) documents—most notably UL 1741 and IEEE 929, as well as the testing described in May 1999 New York Standardized Interconnection Requirements. These procedures and requirements were developed prior to the completion of IEEE P1547 Standard for Distributes! Resources Interconnected with Electric Power Systems, and should be revisited once that standard is published. The tests described here, together with the technical requirements in Section D of this Rule, are intended to provide assurance that the Generating Facility's equipment will not adversely affect SCE's Distribution System and that a Generating Facility will cease providing power to SCE's Distribution System under abnormal conditions. The tests were developed assuming a low level of Generating Facility penetration or number of connections to SCE's Distribution System. At high levels of Generating Facility penetration, additional requirements and corresponding test procedures may need to be defined. This test specification also provides a means of "certifying" equipment. Once a Generating Unit or device has been Certified per this Certification process, it may be considered to be suitable for use as part of a Generating Facility interconnected with SCE's Distribution System. Subject to the exceptions described in this Appendix, SCE will not require a Producer to repeat the design review or test the Protective Functions of equipment that has been Certified. It should be noted the Certification process is intended to facilitate Generating Facility interconnections. Certification is not a prerequisite to interconnect a Generating Facility. The use of non-certified equipment may be acceptable to SCE subject to testing and approval by SCE as discussed below. 2. Certification Criteria Equipment tested and approved (e.g. "Listed") by an accredited, nationally recognized testing laboratory ("NRTL") as having met both the Type Testing and Production Testing requirements described in this document is considered to be "Certified Equipment" for purposes of Interconnection with SCE's Distribution System. Certification may apply to either a pre-packaged system or an assembly of components that address the necessary functions. Type Testing may be done in the manufactures' factory or test laboratory, or in the field. At the discretion of the testing laboratory, field-certification may apply only to the particular installation tested. In such cases,some or all of the tests may need to be repeated at other installations. (Continued) (To be inserted by utility) Issued by (To be inserted by Cal. PUC) Advice 1498-E-A John R.

Certification Criteria (Continued) For non-certified equipment, some or all of the tests described in this document may be required by SCE for each Generating Facility installation. The manufacturer or another laboratory acceptable to SCE may perform these tests. Test results for non- certified equipment must be submitted to SCE as part of the application process for SCE's review and approval under the supplemental review. Approval by SCE for equipment used in a particular application does not guarantee SCE's approval for use in other applications or by other California Electric Corporations. When equipment is Certified by a NRTL, the NRTL shall provide to the manufacturer, at a minimum, a certificate with the following information for each device: a. Administrative: (1) The effective date of certification or applicable serial number(range or first in series), and/or other proof that certification is current (2) Equipment model number(s) of the Certified equipment (3) The software version utilized in the equipment, if applicable (4) Test procedures specified (including date or revision number) (5) Laboratory accreditation (by whom and to what standard) b. Technical (As appropriate): (1) Device ratings (kW, kVA,Volts,Amps, etc.) .(2) Maximum available fault current in Amps (3) in-rush Current in Amps (4) Trip points, if factory set(trip value and timing) (5) Trip point and timing ranges for adjustable settings (6) Nominal power factor or range if adjustable (7) If the device/system is certified as Non-Exporting and the method used (reverse power or under power) (8) If the device/system is Certified as Non-Islanding It is the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer to ensure that certification information is made publicly available by the manufacturer, the testing laboratory, or by a third party.

These requirements may be applied to inverters used with electric energy sources other than photovoltaic ("PV") systems. The specific section number from the May 1999 version of UL1741 is provided for each test and requirement. Section titles were added for clarity. These section numbers are subject to change by UL. A revised version of 1741 is expected to be published around November, 2000. The utility interconnection- related procedures and requirements of that version will need to be reviewed to determine if they should be adopted into these testing and certification rules, The requirements described below cover only issues related to Interconnection and are not intended to address device safety or other issues outside the needs of the relationship between SCE and a Producer operating a Generating Facility.

Type Testing (Continued) f. In-rush Current Test Generation equipment that utilizes SCE power to motor up to speed will be tested using the procedure defined in Section J.7.b. to determine the maximum current drawn during this startup process. The resulting In-rush Current is used to estimate the starting voltage drop. g. Surge Withstand Capability Test Interconnection equipment shall be tested for surge withstand capability (SWC), both oscillatory and fast transient, in accordance with the test procedure defined in IEEE/ANSI C62.45 using the peak values defined in IEEE/ANSI C62.41 Tables 1 and 2 for location category B3. An acceptable result occurs even if the device is damaged by the surge, but is unable to operate or energize SCE's Distribution System. If the device remains operable after being subject to the surge conditions, previous type tests related to SCE's protection and power quality will need to be repeated to ensure the unit will still pass those tests following the surge test. h. Synchronization Test This test verifies that the unit synchronizes within the specified voltage/frequency/phase angle requirements. It is applied to synchronous generators and inverters capable of operating as voltage-source while connected to the SCE. This test is not necessary for induction generators or current-source inverters. The test will start with only one of the three parameters: 1) voltage difference between Generating Facility and SCE's Distribution System, 2) frequency difference, or 3) phase angle outside of the synchronization specification. Initiate the synchronization routine and verify that the Generating Facility is brought within specification prior to synchronization. Repeat the test five times for each of the three parameters. For manual synchronization with synch check or manual control with auto synchronization, the test must verify that paralleling does not occur until the parameters are brought within specifications. 4. Production Testing As a minimum, the Utility Voltage and Frequency Variation Test procedure described in UL1741 under Manufacturing and Production Tests, Section 68 shall be performed as part of routine production (100 percent) on all equipment used to interconnect Generating Facilities to SCE's Distribution System. This testing may be performed in the factory or as part of a Commissioning Test(Section J.5.). (Continued) (To be inserted by utility) Issued by (To be inserted by Cal. PUC) Advice 1498-E-A John R.

Commissioning Testing Commissioning Testing, where required, will be performed on-site to verify protective settings and functionality. Upon initial Parallel Operation of a Generating Facility, or any time interface hardware or software is changed that may affect the functions listed below, a Commissioning Test must be performed. An individual qualified in testing protective equipment (professional engineer, factory-certified technician, or licensed electrician with experience in testing protective equipment) must perform Commissioning Testing in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended test procedure to prove the settings and requirements of this Rule. SCE has the right to witness Commissioning Tests as described below, or to require written certification by the installer describing which tests were performed and their results. Functions to be tested during commissioning, particularly with respect to non-certified equipment, may consist of the following: a. Over and under-voltage b. Over and under-frequency C. Anti-Islanding function(if applicable) d. Non-Exporting function (if applicable) e. Inability to energize dead line f. Time delay on restart after utility source is stable g. Utility system fault detection(if used) h. Synchronizing controls (if applicable) i. Other interconnection protective functions that may be required as part of the Generating Facility Interconnection Agreement Other checks and tests that may need to be performed include. a.

Commissioning Testing (Continued) a. Certified Equipment Generating Facilities qualifying for Simplified Interconnection incorporate Certified Equipment that have, at a minimum, passed the Type Test and Production Tests described in this document and are judged to have little or no potential impact on SCE's Distribution System. For such Generating Facilities, it is necessary to perform only the following tests: (1) Protection settings that have been changed after factory testing will require field verification. Tests will be performed using injected secondary quantities, applied waveforms, a test connection using a generator to simulate abnormal utility voltage or frequency, or varying the set points to show that the device trips at the measured (actual) utility voltage or frequency. (2) The Nan-Islanding function will be checked by operating a load break disconnect switch to verify the interconnection equipment ceases to energize the line and does not re-energize for the required time delay after the switch is closed. (3) The Non-Exporting function will be checked using secondary injection techniques. This function may also be tested by adjusting the Generating Facility output and local loads to verify that the applicable Non-Exporting criteria (i.e., reverse power or under power) are met. The supplemental review or an Interconnection Study may impose additional components or additional testing. b. Non-Certified Equipment Non-certified equipment shall be subjected to the appropriate tests described in Type Testing (Section J.3.) as well as those described in Certified Equipment Commissioning Test (Section J.5.a.). With SCE's approval, these tests may be performed in the factory, in the field as part of commissioning,or a combination of both. SCE, at its discretion, may also approve a reduced set of tests for a particular application or, for example, if it determines it has sufficient experience with the equipment.

Commissioning Testing (Continued) G. Verification of Settings Verifying final protective settings If the testing is part of the commissioning process, then, at the completion of such testing, the Producer shall confirm all devices are set to SCE-approved settings . This step shalt be documented in the Commissioning Test Certification. d. Trip Tests Interconnection protective devices (e.g. reverse power relays) that have not previously been tested as part of the interconnection system with their associated interrupting devices (e.g. contactor or circuit breaker) shall be trip tested during commissioning. The trip test shall be adequate to prove that the associated interrupting devices open when the protective devices operate. Interlocking circuits between protective devices or between interrupting devices shall be similarly tested unless they are part of a system that has been tested and approved during manufacture. e. In-service tests Interconnection protective devices that have not previously been tested as part of the interconnection system with their associated instrument transformers or that are wired in the field shall be given an in-service test during commissioning. This test will verify proper wiring, polarity, CTIPT ratios, and proper operation of the measuring circuits. The in-service test shall be made with the power system energized and carrying a known level of current. A measurement shall be made of the magnitude and phase angle of each ac voltage and current connected to the protective device and the results compared to expected values. For protective devices with built-in metering functions that report current and voltage magnitudes and phase angles, or magnitudes of current, voltage, and real and reactive power, the metered values may be used for in-service testing. Otherwise, portable ammeters, voltmeters,and phase-angle meters shall be used. (Continued) (To be inserted by utility) Issued by (To be inserted by Cal. PUC) Advice 1498-E-A John R.

Periodic Testing Periodic Testing of Interconnection-related Protective Functions shall be performed as specified by the manufacturer, or at least every four years. All periodic tests prescribed by the manufacturer shall be performed. The Producer shall maintain periodic test reports or a log for inspection by SCE. Periodic Testing conforming to SCE test intervals for the particular line section may be specified by SCE under special circumstances, such as high fire hazard areas. A system that depends upon a battery for trip power shall be checked and logged once per month for proper voltage. Once every four years,the battery must be either replaced or a discharge test performed. 7. Supplemental Testing Procedures This section describes the additional Type Tests necessary to qualify a device as Certified for use on SCE and other California Electric Corporation's Distribution Systems. These Type Tests are not contained in Underwriters Laboratories UL 1741 Standard inverters, Converters and Controllers for Use In Independent Power Systems, or other referenced standards, but are considered necessary for Certification by SCE and the other Electrical Corporations. a. Non-Exporting Test Procedures The Non-Exporting test is intended to verify the operation of relays, controllers and inverters designed to limit the export of power and certify the equipment as meeting the requirements of Step 2, Options 1 and 2, of the Initial Review .Process. Tests are provided for discrete relay packages and for controllers and inverters that include the intended function. (1) Reverse Power Relay Test This version of the Non-Exporting test procedure is intended for stand-alone reverse power and under power relay packages provided to meet the requirements of Options 1 and 2 of the Non-Exporting Screen. it should be understood that in the reverse power application, the relay will provide a trip output with power in the export (toward the SCE Distribution System)direction.

Supplemental Testing Procedures (Continued) a. Non-Exporting Test Procedures (Continued) (1) Reverse Power Relay Test (Continued) Step 1: Power Flow Test at Minimum, Midpoint and Maximum Pickup Level Settings Determine the appropriate secondary pickup current for the desired export power flow of 0.5 secondary watts (the agreed- upon minimum pickup setting, assumes 5 Amp and 120V CT/PT secondary). Apply nominal voltage with minimum current setting at zero (0) degrees in the trip direction. Increase the current to pickup level. Observe the relay's (LCD or computer display) indication of power values. Note the indicated power level at which the relay trips. The power indication should be within 2 percent of the expected power. For relays with adjustable settings, repeat this test at the midpoint, and maximum settings. Repeat at phase angles of 90, 180 and 270 degrees and verify that the relay does not operate (measured watts will be zero or negative). Step 2: Leading Power Factor Test Apply rated voltage with a minimum pickup current setting (calculated value for system application) and apply a leading power factor load current in the non-trip direction (current lagging voltage by 135 degrees). Increase the current to relay rated current and verify that the relay does not operate. For relay's with adjustable settings, this test should be repeated at the minimum, midpoint, and maximum settings. Step 3 Minimum Power Factor Test At nominal voltage and with the minimum pickup (or ranges) determined in Step 1, adjust the current phase angle to 84 or 276 degrees. Increase the current level to pickup (about 10 times higher than at 0 degrees) and verify that the relay operates. Repeat for phase angles of 90, 180 and 270 degrees and verify that the relay does not operate. (Continued) (To be inserted by utility) Issued by (To be inserted by Cal. PUC) Advice 1498-E-A John R.
