1.0 SCOPE
1.1 This specification details the procedures to be followed when the removal,
replacement, or first time installation, of 460V service take-off fuses is
undertaken for any reason. It applies to new and existing installations.
1.2 There are three all-encompassing conditions or general categories

involving removal or installation of 460V service take-off fuses:
1.2.1 Where the service take-off fuse(s) is found blown.
1.2.2 Where work has been performed between the load side of the
service take-off fuse and customer disconnect(s). This category also
includes new service take-off installations never energized.
1.2.3 Where no work has been performed between the load side of the
existing service take-off fuse and customer disconnect(s).
2.0 APPLICATION
2.1 This specification applies to all Electric Operating regions.
3.0 GENERAL
3.1 All work is to be performed in accordance with Con Edison’s General

Instructions Governing Work on System Electrical Equipment.
3.2 Procedures followed as called for in this specification shall be in

compliance with all applicable Corporate Environmental Procedures
(CEPs), and General Environmental Instructions (GEIs).
3.3 The use of this Specification is to be supplemented with review of the

Distribution Engineering intranet site for bulletins, associated with network
systems and equipment. Bulletins may be used to addend requirements
herein on a temporary basis. If there are any active bulletins associated
with this specification, it will be shown in the title of the specification on the
intranet site.
3.4 Access to equipment vaults is by Company authorized individuals only and

shall be locked (where locking facilities are provided) or otherwise fully
closed when not being accessed by authorized individuals. When vaults are
open for work, measures shall be taken to guard against inadvertent entry
by the public.

3.5 Specific regulatory periodic underground structure inspection and recording
requirements fall under the provisions of reference specification EO-10359:
Periodic Underground Distribution Structure Inspection. Follow EO-10359
and CEHSP- 17.01 in conjunction with specification EO-10904.
3.6 While working on 460V systems, use approved PPE and tools, and follow
prescribed Con Edison safe work practices.
3.7 The customer’s load side systems off the service take-off fuse may connect
to more than one main switchboard disconnect, due to feeder taps. In this
specification “customer disconnect(s)” refers to the entire test zone
between the service take-off fuse and the customer main switchboard
disconnect and all other feeder tap disconnect devices that exist. The first
customer disconnect device in the main switchboard and disconnects in all
feeder tap directions are to be opened to isolate the area to be tested, as
per the requirements of this specification. This test zone is the same zone
that becomes energized upon installation of service take-off fuses.
3.8 There are two types of electrical tests prescribed depending on the
condition encountered or general work category undertaken. These tests
must be performed without exception prior to removal, replacement, or first
time installation, of the service take-off fuses.
3.9 One type of test used is the 2500VDC Megger test. The purpose of the
Megger test is to verify the integrity of the dielectric strength of the
customer’s electrical systems under test. The Megger test is performed by
the customer or by Con Edison in emergency or special situations, at the
customer’s expense.
3.10 The second type of test used is the standard one amp fuse jumper test,
to check for potential phase to ground faults or short circuits from the line
side of the service take-off fuse to the customer disconnect(s). It can verify
customer load is not greater than one (1) amp across a fuse gap (removed
fuse) or across an in-place blown fuse. The one amp fuse jumper test
device is Company Class & Stock No. 523-1683. The one amp fuse jumper
test is only to be performed by Con Edison. The one amp replacement fuse
only is Class & Stock No. 591-3215.
NOTE: A continuity test of the standard one amp fuse jumper is to be made
before and after each time it is used.
3.11 APPENDICES I, II, and III are the detailed service take-off fuse removal,
replacement, and installation procedures. APPENDIX IV is for recording
test data. APPENDIX V is the Megger test and visual inspection
certification required of the customer, and APPENDIX VI is a Megger test
request to be submitted by the customer for Con Edison to perform this

service.
3.11.1 Abnormal test data or findings shall be additionally recorded in

CINDE Mainsaver / Logica, as well as the work performed.
3.11.2 Completed APPENDIX IV, V, and VI forms shall be turned over to

the Con Edison Energy Services Representative for retention.
4.0 PROCEDURES
4.1 For the category of blown service take-off fuse(s), a 2500VDC Megger test
and the standard one amp fuse jumper test is specified. Both tests must be
performed.
Refer to APPENDIX I: PROCEDURE FOR BLOWN 460V SERVICE TAKE-
OFF FUSE
4.1.1 Electrical installations are designed so that fuse coordination exists

between the Con Edison system and the customer’s switchgear and
loads. This means the customer’s switchgear main fuse(s) has a
lesser time/current characteristic profile than the service take-off
fuses. Therefore, a fault occurring downstream of the customer’s
switchgear main fuse(s) should not affect the service take-off fuse. If
the service take-off fuse is found blown and the customer’s main
switchgear fuse(s) is not blown, then a suspect fault condition exists
between the load side of the service take-off fuse and the customer’s
switchgear main fuse(s). Since there may be more than one
customer switchboard involved, this area is further defined: up to the
main switchboard main fuse and the main fuse in any Switchboard,
in all feeder tap directions from the service take-off.
4.2 For the category where work will be performed between the load side of
the service take-off fuse and customer disconnect(s), a 2500VDC Megger
Test and the standard one amp fuse jumper Test is specified. Both tests
must be performed. This also applies to new service take-off installations
never energized where first time installation of fuses is called for.
Refer to APPENDIX II: PROCEDURE FOR 460V SERVICE TAKE-OFF

FUSE WHEN WORK WILL BE PERFORMED ON CUSTOMER LOAD
SIDE SYSTEMS OR NEW SERVICE TAKE-OFF INSTALLATIONS.
4.2.1 The Con Edison Energy Services Representative requesting the

customer outage shall indicate what work in detail will be performed
during the outage on the customer’s electrical systems, between the
service take-off fuse and the customer’s disconnect(s), and to
communicate this information with the Con Edison Equipment Group
to determine what tests are required in accordance with this
specification.
4.2.2 “Work” includes but is not limited to: customer electrical system
extensions, additions, renovations, deletions (retirements),
modifications, upgrades, repairs, or non-electrical work such as
plumbing, demolition, structural work, or other construction that
could affect the condition of electrical systems in the test zone.
Customer routine bus inspections and service, such as bus IR
thermal scans, bus cleaning, and bus bolted joint re-torquing,
generally does not constitute “work” (no work) as described herein.
4.3 For the category where no work has been performed on or affecting the
test zone area between the service take-off fuse and the customer
disconnect(s), a standard one amp fuse jumper test is specified. Megger
test is optional.
Refer to APPENDIX III: PROCEDURE FOR 460V SERVICE TAKE-OFF

FUSE WHEN NO WORK WILL BE PERFORMED ON CUSTOMER LOAD
SIDE SYSTEMS.
4.3.1 The Con Edison Energy Services Representative requesting the

customer outage shall indicate what work in detail will be performed
during the outage on the customer’s electrical systems, between the
Service take-off fuse and the customer’s disconnect(s), and to
communicate this information with the Con Edison Equipment Group
to determine what tests are required in accordance with this spec.
Refer to paragraph 4.22 for description of “work” and “no work”.
4.3.2 NOTE: If there is any doubt as to the dielectric integrity of the

customer’s electrical systems in the test zone, perform the additional
Megger test in accordance with APPENDIX II Procedure.

APPENDIX I
PROCEDURE FOR BLOWN 460V SERVICE TAKE-OFF FUSE
The following procedures (1-17) shall be followed for the removal of blown service take-
off fuses:
NOTE: While working on 460V systems, use approved PPE and follow prescribed Con
Edison safe work practices.
1. Upon arrival at the installation, meet with Customer’s Authorized Representative.
2. With the Customer’s Authorized Representative, determine what service take-off (s)
and fuses have been affected.
3. Determine if customer’s switchboard fuses have blown, when feasible by visual

inspection, or electrical test, along with the affected customer’s switchboard main
fuses. Any other customer switchboard main fuses off feeder taps on the same
service take-off must also be inspected.
4. Ascertain that the customer’s disconnect(s) are in the open position. Wherever
possible, have the customer lock-out the disconnect (s) in the open position. If the
service take-off is equipped with a Pringle switch, ascertain that the switch is in the
open position and locked wherever possible. Verify the Pringle switch label to
determine if the correct take-off is being disconnected.
For customers with switchgears at elevated floors with no Pringle switches on the
service take-offs, the entire installation shall be de-energized prior to removing the
service take-off fuses.
5. Visually inspect service take-off fuse pads and customer side bus and equipment up
to the customer’s main switchboard main fuse. Also inspect other customer
switchboard main fuses off feeder taps on the same service take-off. Check for
abnormalities such as water, moisture, corrosion, carbon deposits, broken supports,
etc. In cases where the customer’s bus run is in a metal clad housing and cannot be
visually inspected, the Megger test will suffice as called for later.
6. Verify condition of network fuses. Verify position of network protectors to confirm

network bus is alive all three phases.
7. Set up all necessary equipment for the testing and removal of the service take-off
fuses.
8. With the customer’s disconnect(s) in the open position, use a voltmeter to check
voltages on the load side of the service take-off fuses. A reading of zero volts from
phase to ground indicates an open circuit and blown fuse. Record phase to ground

and phase to phase voltages for each phase. Record in APPENDIX IV. It should be
established what service take-off fuses are blown.
9. Using a standard one amp fuse jumper (C&S #: 523-1683), check for short circuits
on the same phase across blown service take-off fuse from line to load side, for
each blown phase. Record results in APPENDIX IV. A continuity test of the
standard one amp fuse jumper is to be made before and after each time it is used
(Replacement Fuse Only C&S #: 591-3215).
10. At this point, it should be established that no load current exists on all the service
take-off fuses. Check customer ammeters, if available, for no load indication.
Measure the current through the service take-off fuses using the flexible current
probe. When using the flexible current probe, a reading of three (3) amps or less is
acceptable.
Verify that the customer’s disconnect(s) and the Pringle switch are open via visual
inspection. DO NOT PROCEED if any of these conditions are not met but instead
notify the customer he has not properly isolated the service take-off.
11. Prior to removing any service take-off fuse, the other two phases are to be rubbered
up with Company approved insulating mats. Once the fuse is removed, rubber this
phase, and proceed to the next fuse. Follow this procedure for all three fuses. All
three fuses shall be tagged with vault number and phase removed from.
12. Remove the service take-off fuses
NOTE: When unbolting the captive nuts holding the fuse in place, remove the nuts in
a manner to allow one nut on each side of the fuse to remain torqued last. Proceed
with loosening each remaining nut slowly and cautiously. If spitting, arcing, buzzing,
or abnormal noise occurs – DO NOT PROCEED with loosening. Immediately notify
the customer he has not properly isolated the service take-off.
13. Prior to Meggering, all of the customer’s alarm and/or control circuit wiring that have
connections to the zone under test must be disconnected. This applies also to Con
Ed’s potential metering connections.
14. At this time, after the customer has corrected the faulty condition, a request to the
customer shall be made to Megger Test the service take-off bus from the load side
of the service take-off fuse pad to the customer’s open disconnect(s). If the service
take-off is equipped with a Pringle switch, close the switch and ascertain that it is in
the close position.
15. A 2500 VDC Megger shall be performed with a minimum test result of five (5) Mega
ohms achieved. The Megger test is to be performed on each individual phase of the
service take-off fuse load stabs, from phase to ground and then phase to phase.
Record data in APPENDIX V if the customer performs the Megger test. Use
APPENDIX VI if Con Edison performs the Megger test.

16. No service take-off fuse is to be replaced without a satisfactory certified Megger
Test.
17. Should the Megger test fail, open the Pringle switch and Megger from the Pringle
switch to the customer’s open disconnect(s).
a. If the Megger from the Pringle to the customer’s open disconnect(s) fails,
notify the customer that a hazardous condition exists on the service take-off
and must be corrected prior to retest, installation of new service take-off
fuses, and re-energization.
b. If the Megger from the Pringle to the customer’s open disconnect(s) passes,
Megger from the Pringle to the service take-off fuse pad. If the Megger fails,
make repairs to correct condition. If the Megger passes, troubleshoot Pringle
switch to correct condition.
The following procedures (18-24) shall be followed for the replacement of blown
service take-off fuses only after a satisfactory Megger Test has been performed:
18. Ascertain that the customer’s disconnect(s) are in the open position by performing a
visual inspection.
19. The disconnected customer’s alarm and/or control circuit wiring, and Con Edison’s
potential metering connections, are reconnected.
voltages on the load side of the service take-off fuse gap. Record phase to ground
and phase to phase voltages of each fuse position. DO NOT CONTINUE unless
the voltage readings are zero, signifying the customer’s bus, up to all open
disconnect(s), is dead. Use APPENDIX IV to record data.
21. Using a standard one amp fuse jumper (C&S #: 523-1683), check across each
phase of the service take-off fuse gap for short circuits and grounds. Record
readings in APPENDIX IV. No fuse jumper should blow. A continuity test of the
standard one amp fuse jumper is to be made before and after each time it is used
(Replacement Fuse Only C&S #: 591-3215).
22. Prior to installing any 460V service take-off fuse, the other two phases are to be
rubbered up with approved insulating mats. Once the fuse is installed, rubber up
this phase, and proceed to the next fuse. Follow this procedure for all three fuses.
23. Just prior to installing each service take-off fuse, perform a standard one amp fuse
jumper check across the service take-off fuse gap. If the jumper does not blow,
install the service take-off fuse. Follow this procedure for each fuse. A continuity
test of the standard one amp fuse jumper is to be made each time before and after it
is used. If the fuse jumper blows, DO NOT INSTALL the fuse but notify the customer
that a hazardous condition exists on the service take-off and must be corrected prior
to proceeding.
24. Replace all three service take-off fuses, with new, like and kind only. Repeat steps
22 and 23 for each phase. Discard removed fuses.
