ORGANIZATION
PREFACE
The EUSERC (Electric Utility Service Equipment Requirements Committee) is composed of, and the
membership open to, electric utilities located in the United States of America. Associate membership is
open to organizations associated with utility service and metering activities. The utilities participating as
members and associate members are listed in Section 100.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the EUSERC is to promote uniform electric service requirements among the member
utilities, publish existing utility service requirements for electric service equipment, and provide direction
for the development of future metering technology. The EUSERC associate members provide liaison
between the member utilities, state and federal agencies, manufacturers, contractors, and electrical
testing laboratories.
GOALS
The goal of this organization is to support the development of metering and service equipment that is
safe and cost effective to the serving agencies and their customers, and to establish manufacturing and
installation requirements for metering and service equipment that are acceptable to all member utilities.
GENERAL
These requirements and installation guides are based on, and replace, the requirements previously
published by the WUESSC and the PUESRCC. They are intended for the use of serving agencies, metering
and service equipment manufacturers, consulting engineers and architects. The EUSERC requirements
book contains information concerning electric service and metering facilities generally provided and
installed by the customer. Each serving agency will provide specific information pertaining to metering
and service requirement for the territory it serves. Consultation with the appropriate utility prior to new or
reconstruction is advised. Individual member utility acceptability of EUSERC requirement drawings is listed
on the EUSERC web site --- euserc.org

DEVELOPING NEW REQUIREMENTS
One of the major reasons for EUSERC meetings is to review requests for a new requirement; and to
consider revisions of existing requirements.
All requests, whether generated internally or submitted by a manufacturer or other party, are forwarded
to the Materials Committee Chairperson. The Chairperson will review the request for proper formatting
and completeness. The request will be forwarded to the Executive Board for review and assignment to
the appropriate Sub-Committee.
All requests must be submitted to the Materials Committee Chairperson through EUSERC Form A-1. The
form is included in the 200 Section of this EUSERC manual or may be obtained from a member
representative or downloaded from the website forms.euserc.org
EQUIPMENT INSPECTION REPORTS
This form is for utility use only and is intended to inform both the Material Committee Chairman and the
manufacturer that a specific component does not meet EUSERC requirements. The situation may be
resolved on an informal basis or referred to an investigative committee.

2020 UTILITY ACCEPTABILITY TABLES
The Acceptability Tables list EUSERC drawings and their acceptability to EUSERC
member utilities. These Tables represent the most up-to-date polling information that
EUSERC has regarding member acceptance of published requirements.
EUSERC does encourage member utilities to accept published EUSERC requirements to

the greatest extent possible. Due to differences in operating policies, safety procedures,
and other considerations, not all utility members are able to accept all EUSERC
requirement drawings.
Manufacturers are encouraged to contact the EUSERC chairman regarding any

discrepancies between the published acceptability of member utilities in the following
Tables and any Utility member’s actual acceptance policies.
The Acceptability Tables are listed on the EUSERC website --- https://euserc.org
DESCRIPTIONs to the acceptability pages can be made by completing the form on the
next page and sending the form to the Section 200 committee chairperson.

transformers. When aluminum bus is used, the bus bars shall be plated, (See Bus Bar Plating,
Drawing 300).
4. When the serving agency requests links and supports for through-type current transformer(s),
the bus and removable links must be of a compatible material.
5. Instrument transformers supplied by the serving agency for metering shall not be utilized for
any other purpose.
6. The ends of the current transformer buss stubs shall be located so the current transformers
can be installed without removing adjacent panels.
2022 EUSERC MANUAL

SHEET SECTION
7. The current transformer bus stub supports in the instrument transformer compartment shall
be sufficiently rigid to maintain alignment of the buss where the conductors are installed. The
current transformers or bus links shall not provide buss support or alignment.
8. Except for factory-installed cross-bussing and conductors, either bus or cable, used to supply
the instrument-transformer compartment, no other conductors or devices shall be installed in
the instrument-transformer compartment or in the sealed area above the instrument-
transformer compartment.
V. SERVICE TERMINATION EQUIPMENT, GENERAL
A. Switchboards Excluded
This paragraph of the Requirements applies to all meter and service equipment when not
installed on switchboards.
1. General
a. Service termination facilities shall be specifically designed to receive the serving agency’s
underground service lateral conductors as a single cable entry. Enclosures designed for
either overhead or underground cable entry are acceptable provided they meet
requirements for both types of cable entry.
b. Service cable termination lugs or connectors shall be suitable for use with both aluminum
and copper conductors. The serving agency should be consulted for specific lug or
connector requirements.
c. Socket enclosures designed for single sockets rated up to, and including 200 amperes,
shall have service terminating lugs independently mounted from the socket jaw support.
d. Test for meter sockets shall be in accordance with the current Standard for Meter Sockets
