PGE service change question

[jon356a]

Hello

I've been reading the forum off and on and have some questions for the board. Specifically members in PGE territory although all are welcome.

I have a residential service upgrade to do in PGE territory. I've read through their 2012 Standards Manual online and found it somewhat contradictory on what I was looking for.

1. What type of conduit is allowed for a 2" overhead mast IMC or RMC?
2. Has anybody had an issues mounting exterior surface mounts meter main / load
center on strut attached to exterior walls as long as all set backs and clearances are
maintained?
3. I heard somewhere they will not connect to panels mounted on exterior bedroom
walls? I assume this is for new services not upgrades?
3. What is PGE's process for same day disco / reconnect after city inspection clearance?
What division at PGE should be contacted? Local service planning office?

I rarely work in PGE territory, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks all

May I suggest, the telephone is your friend. Or make a personal visit to the PGE office would be in order.

Welcome to the Forum.

Be aware that PGE often refers to Portland General Electric, the utility in Oregon. (I usually write PGE instead of PG&E for the California utility, but then someone from the northwest comes and complains.)

Welcome to the Forum.

So easier said than done with utility companies. But thanks for the simple suggestion.
