I'm having an issue with a stubborn POCO. I have to run my service conductors about 500' to a 200 amp residential panel, but I'm being told by a POCO rep. that they limit secondary conductor length to 250' !!! There is already a padmount trans. on site with POCO-owned meter cans adjacent to it. My plan was to run 250kcmil aluminum triplex in 2 1/2" pipe from the meter to the house. Their plan is to extend the primary from the trans. through my property via a 25' wide easement, set another padmount trans. on my property less than 250' from the house, and then run the secondary conductors from there. I haven't gotten an estimate yet, but are these people crazy?!
I'm even willing to upsize my pipe and parallel 4/0s if necessary. This is going to be a 1,000 sq. ft. house with propane heat and stove. The most significant load will be the dryer. I don't want to piss these people off, but how do I tactfully make them listen to reason? Anyone else experience this, and what did you have to do? :rant:
