4.4 Any agreements attached to and incorporated into this Agreement shall terminate
concurrently with this Agreement unless the Parties have agreed otherwise in
writing.
5. GENERATING FACILITY, OPERATION AND CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
5.1 The electric power produced by Producer's Generating Facility shall be used solely
to serve electrical loads connected to the electric service account that SCE uses to
interconnect Producer's Generating Facility (or,where permitted under Section
218 of the PUC,the electric loads of an on-site or neighboring party lawfully
connected to Producer's Generating Facility through Producer's circuits). Producer
shall attempt in good faith to regulate the electric power output of Producer's
Generating Facility so as to prevent the flow of electric energy from the
Generating Facility to SCE's electric system. Unless otherwise agreed upon in
writing by the Parties, this Agreement does not provide for, nor otherwise require
SCE to receive, purchase, transmit, distribute, or store the electrical power
produced by Producers Generating Facility.
5.2 If Producer declares that its Generating Facility meets the requirements for
"Cogeneration"as such term is used in Section 218.5 of the PUC (or any
successor definition of"Cogeneration") ("Cogeneration Requirements7), Producer
warrants that, beginning on the date of Initial Operation and continuing throughout
the term of this Agreement, its Generating Facility shall continue to meet such
Cogeneration Requirements. If Producer becomes aware that its Generating
Facility has ceased to meet the Cogeneration Requirements, Producer shall
promptly provide SCE with Notice of such change pursuant to Section 9.1 below.
If at any time during the term of this Agreement SCE determines in its sole
discretion that Producer's Generating Facility may no longer meet the
Cogeneration Requirements, SCE may require Producer to provide evidence that
its Generating Facility continues to meet the Cogeneration Requirements within 15
business days of SCE's request for such evidence. Additionally, SCE may
periodically (typically, once per year) inspect Producer's Generating Facility and/or
require documentation from Producer to monitor the Generating Facility's
compliance with Section 218.5 of the PUC. If SCE determines in its sole judgment
that Producer either failed to provide evidence in a timely manner or that it
provided insufficient evidence that its Generating Facility continues to meet the
Cogeneration Requirements,then the Cogeneration status of the Generating
Facility shall be deemed ineffective until such time as Producer again
demonstrates to SCE's reasonable satisfaction that the Generating Facility meets
the requirements for a Cogeneration facility (the "Status Change*).
5.2.1 SCE shall revise its records and the administration of this Agreement to
reflect the Status Change and provide Notice to Producer of the Status
Change pursuant to Section 9.1 below. This Notice shall specify the
effective date of the Status Change. This date shall be the first day of the
calendar year for which SCE determines in its sole discretion that the
Generating Facility first ceased to meet the Cogeneration Requirements.
SCE's Notice shall include an invoice for Competition Transition Charges
CCTCsJ that were not previously billed during the period between the
effective date of the Status Change and the date of the Notice in reliance
upon Producer's representations that the Generating Facility complied with
the Cogeneration Requirements and therefore was eligible for the
exemption from CTCs available under Section 372 of the PLIC.

30 days of Producer's receipt of such invoice.
6. INTERCONNECTION FACILITIES
6.1 Producer and/or SCE, as appropriate, shall provide Interconnection Facilities that
adequately protect SCE's Distribution System, personnel, and other persons from
damage or injury, which may be caused by the operation of Producer's Generating
Facility.
6.2 Producer shall be solely responsible for the costs, design, purchase, construction,
operation, and maintenance of the Interconnection Facilities that Producer owns.
6.3 If the provisions of SCE's Rule 21, or any other tariff or rule approved by the
Commission, requires SCE to own and operate a portion of the Interconnection
Facilities, Producer and SCE shall promptly execute an Interconnection Facilities
Financing and Operation Agreement that establishes and allocates responsibility
for the design, installation, operation, maintenance, and ownership of the
Interconnection Facilities. This Interconnection Facilities Financing and Operation
Agreement shall be attached to and made a part of this Agreement as Appendix C.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each Party's liability to the other Party for any loss, cost, claim, injury, liability, or expense,
including reasonable attorney's fees, relating to or arising from any act or omission in its
performance of this agreement, shall be limited to the amount of direct damage actually

A. Applicability
This Rule describes the interconnection, operating and metering requirements for
Generating Facilities intended to be connected to SCE's Distribution System over which the
Commission has jurisdiction. Subject to the requirements of this Rule, SCE will allow the
interconnection of Generating Facilities with its Distribution System. Definitions for the
capitalized terms used in this Rule and not otherwise defined in Rule 1 or within the text of
this Rule are defined in Section H of this Rule. The definitions provided in this Rule shall
only apply to this Rule and shall not apply to SCE's other tariffs. It is contemplated that the
Applicant will be required to execute various enabling documents, such as but not limited to
the Generating Facility Interconnection Agreement ("Agreement") (Form 14-731) and
Application to Interconnect A Generating Facility ("Application") (Form 14-732). Such
documents shall be on file with the Commission, and may be amended from time to time.
B. General, Rules, Rights and Obligations
1. Authorization Required to Interconnect: A Producer must comply with this Rule,
and the terms of the Agreement, and receive SCE's express written permission to
interconnect before connecting or operating a Generating Facility in parallel with
SCE's Distribution System. SCE shall apply this Rule in a non-discriminatory
manner and shall not unreasonably withhold its permission to interconnect a
Producer's Generating Facility.
2. Separate Arrangements Required for Other Services: A Producer requiring other
electric services from SCE including, but not limited to, Distribution Service
provided by SCE during periods of curtailment or interruption of a Generating
Facility, must enter into separate arrangements with SCE for such services in
accordance with SCE's Commission-approved Tariff Schedules.
3. Transmission Service Not Provided with Interconnection: Interconnection with
SCE's Distribution System under this Rule does not provide a Producer any rights
to utilize SCE's Distribution System for the transmission or distribution of electric
power, nor does it limit those rights.
4. Compliance with Laws, Rules, and Tariff Schedules: A Producer shall ascertain
and comply with applicable Commission-approved Tariff Schedules, and
regulations of SCE; applicable Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
approved rules, tariffs, and regulations; and any local, state or federal law, statute

d. When Required, Applicant and SCE Commit to Additional Interconnection
Study Steps: When an Initial Review reveals that the proposed facility cannot
be interconnected to SCE's system by means of a Simplified Interconnection
and that significant SCE Interconnection Facilities or Distribution System
improvements must be installed or made to SCE's Distribution System to
accommodate the interconnection of an Applicant's Generating Facility, SCE
and Applicant shall enter into an agreement that provides for SCE to perform
additional studies,facility design, and engineering and to provide detailed cost
estimates for fixed price or actual cost billing to the Applicant at the
Applicant's expense. The interconnection study agreement shall set forth
SCE's schedule for completing such work and the estimated or fixed price
costs of such studies and engineering. Upon completion of an
Interconnection Study, SCE shall provide the Applicant mfith the specific
requirements, costs and schedule for interconnecting the Generating Facility
to accommodate execution of agreements pursuant to Section CA.e.
e. Applicant and SCE Enter Into a Generating Facility Interconnection
Agreement and,Where Required, a Financing and Ownership Agreement for
Interconnection Facilities or Distribution System Modifications: SCE shall
provide the Applicant with an executable version of the Agreement, net
energy metering agreement, or power purchase agreement appropriate for
the Applicant's Generating Facility and desired mode of operation. Where
the Initial Review or Interconnection Study performed by SCE has determined
that modifications or additions are required to be made to its Distribution
System, or that additional metering, monitoring, or protection devices will be
necessary to accommodate an Applicant's Generating Facility,SCE may also
provide the Applicant with an interconnection facilities financing and
ownership agreement as necessary. These agreements shall set forth both
SCE and the Applicant's responsibilities, completion schedules, and
estimated or fixed price costs for the required work.

9- 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.M.
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 interconnedon 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. The Producer will receive either a
bill for any balance due or a reimbursement for overpayment as determined by
SCE's reconciliation. The Producer shall be entitled to a reasonably detailed
and understandable report detailing SCE's reconciliation process.

D. Generating Facility Design and Operating Requirements
1. General Interconnection and Protection Requirements
a. Automatic Lockout Required: The Protective Functions shall include an
automatic means to prevent the Generating Facility from re-energizing a de-
energized SCE Distribution System circuit.
b. Protective Functions Required: The Protective Functions of a Generating
Facility must include an over/under voltage trip function, an over/under
frequency trip function, and a means for disconnecting the Generating Facility
from SCE's Distribution System whenever a protective function initiates a trip.
C. No Unintended Islanding: The Generating Facility and associated Protective
Functions shall not contribute to the formation of an Unintended Island.
d. Drawings Required: The Producer's protection and control diagrams for the
interconnection shall be approved by SCE prior to completion of the
Generating Facility Interconnection unless the Producer uses a protection and
control scheme previously approved by SCE for system-wide application or
uses only Certified Equipment.
e. Required Delay on Reconnection: Protective Functions shall be equipped
with automatic means to prevent reconnection of the Generating Facility with
SCE's Distribution System unless SCE's Distribution System service voltage
and frequency is of specified settings and is stable for at least 60 seconds.
f. Certified Equipment: Certified Equipment contains certified functions that are
accepted by all California Electric Corporations. Certified Equipment may be
installed on SCE's Distribution System in accordance with an interconnection
control and protection scheme approved by SCE.
9- Purpose of Protective Functions: The Protective Functions and requirements
of this Rule are designed to protect SCE's Distribution System and not the
Generating Facility. A Producer shall be solely responsible for providing
adequate protection for the Producer's Generating Facility and
Interconnection Facilities connected to SCE's Distribution System. The
Producer's protective equipment shall not impact the operation of other
protective devices utilized on SCE's Distribution System in a manner that
would affect SCE's capability of providing reliable service to its Customers.

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.
The Generating Facility shall be designed so that the failure of any one device
shall not potentially compromise the safety and reliability of SCE's Distribution
i. Visible Disconnect Required: The Producer shall furnish and install a manual
disconnect device that has a visible break to isolate the Generating Facility
from SCE's Distribution System. The device must be accessible to SCE
personnel and be capable of being locked in the open position. Generating
Facilities with Non-Islanding inverters totaling one (1) WA or less are exempt
from this provision.
Momentarily Paralleling Facilities Excluded: Section D of this Rule is not
intended to address the requirements for Generating Facilities that parallel
momentarily (60 cycles or less) or Generating Facilities that operate
independently of SCE's Distribution System.

2. 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
(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.

(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 DA
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 SCEs 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
fide through short-term disturbances to avoid excessive nuisance tripping. For Generating
Facilities with a Gross Nameplate Rating of I I WA capacity or lass,the above set points
are to be non-user adjustable. For Generating Facilities with a Gross nameplate Rating
greater than 11 k VA, different voltage set points and trip time.$from those in Table D.I 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 Hannonic 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

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 11
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
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% 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.

3. 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
(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.

(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-fine 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 recloser(s) may also be required by SCE for
Generating Facilities that exceed 15% of the peak load on the Line
Section.

b. Ownership: Subject to the limitations set forth in this Rule, Interconnection
Facilities which may be installed on Producer's side of the Point of Common
Coupling may be owned, operated and maintained by the Producer or SCE.
Interconnection Facilities installed on SCE's side of the Point of Common
Coupling and Distribution System improvements shall be owned, operated and
maintained only by SCE.
2. Responsibility of Costs of Interconnecting a Generating Facility
a. Study and Review Costs: A Producer shall be responsible for the reasonably
incurred costs of the Initial Review and any Interconnection Studies conducted
pursuant to Section C.2 of this Rule solely to explore the feasibility and
determine the requirements of interconnecting a Generating Facility with
SCE's Distribution System.
b. Facility Costs: A Producer shall be responsible for all costs associated with
Interconnection Facilities owned by the Producer. The Producer shall also be
responsible for any costs reasonably incurred by SCE in providing, operating,
or maintaining Interconnection Facilities and Distribution System
improvements required solely for the interconnection of the Producer's
Generating Facility with SCE's Distribution System.

approval for the interconnection of those Generating Facilities that do not require an
Interconnection Study.
2. Purpose:
The Initial Review determines:
a. If Generating Facility qualifies for Simplified Interconnection;
b. If a Generating Facility can be made to qualify for Interconnection with a
Supplemental Review determining any potential additional requirements, or
C. If an Interconnection Study is required, the cost estimates and schedule for
performing the Interconnection Study.
Note: Failure to pass any screen of the Initial Review means only that further review and/or
studies are required before the Generating Facility can be approved for interconnection with
SCE's Distribution System. It does not mean that the Generating Facility cannot be
interconnected.

3. Initial Review Process Details
a. 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 Non-Islanding.
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,
Continue to next screen.
If Yes, Generating Facility does not qualify for Simplified Interconnection. Perform

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,
- Nan-Islanding requirements met.
- If used, reverse power function requirement met.
- If used, under-power function requirement met.

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.

The Short Circuit Current Contribution Screen consists of two criteria; both of which
must be met when applicable:
a. When measured at primary side (high side) of a Dedicated Distribution
Transformer serving a Generating Facility, the sum of the Short Circuit
Contribution Ratios (SCCR) of all generating facilities connected to the
particular Distribution System circuit that serves the Generating Facility must
be less than or equal to 0,1.
b. When measured at the secondary side (low side) of a shared distribution
transformer, the short circuit contribution of the proposed Generating Facility
must be less than or equal to 2.5% of the interrupting rating of the Producer's
Service Equipment.

J. Generating Unit Testing And Certification Criteria
1. 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 9999 New York Standardized
Interconnection Requirements. These procedures and requirements were developed
prior to the completion of IEEE P1547 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.

2. 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.

a. Inverters
Static power inverters shall meet all of the Type Tests and requirements
appropriate for a utility interactive inverter as specified in UL 1741 Static
Inverters and Charge Controllers for Use in Photovoltaic Power Systems, and
listed in Table 1 below. 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.

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.
9- 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.).

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

5. 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 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.S.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.

C. 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

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 I 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.

(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.

RATES (Continued)
2. The NDC is calculated by multiplying the kWh for the billing period by the NDC rate
set forth in the Rate Components Section for the OAT.
3. The PPPC is calculated by multiplying the kWh for the billing period by the PPPC rate
set forth in the Rate Components Section for the OAT,
4. The FTAC is calculated by multiplying the kWh for the billing period by the FTAC rate
set forth in the Rate Components Section for the OAT, if applicable.
For customers served on Schedule S, Standby, the CTC obligation as set forth above will be
reduced by the CTC billed under Schedule S, Standby, which will be the generation portion of all
charges applicable under Schedule S, Standby, as set forth in the Rate Components Section of
Schedule S.
When the Departing Load is a result of an event that also reduces the 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.

1. Contract: A Contract is required for service under this schedule.
2. 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
customer's 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 customer's scheduled outage
date, except in the event of emergency. The Allowance for Maintenance applies only to

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
& Billing: A Customer's 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 customer's 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).
& 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.
