Please provide a sequence of operations explaining how the system will operate under normal and off-grid conditions (explain how the battery will disconnect and reconnect to the grid).

Please provide the type of switching and indicate if it is self contained or utilizes separate components, reference specific equipment on the one-line diagram.

If your system rated kW out flow to the grid is restricted by control logic (outflow kW is less than inverter total capacity), then indicate the worst case out-flow capacity.

Visible, Lockable, Labeled Disconnect (VLLD) One-Line Diagram & Layout Sketch

CoServ requires a visible, lockable, labeled AC disconnect (“VLLD”) for interconnection. The AC disconnect must have:
  • a visual break (with external handle) that is appropriate to the voltage level
  • be accessible to utility personnel
  • is capable of being locked in the open position. 
CoServ personnel or company authorized agents will operate the VLLD as needed to ensure the DG system is removed for operation and cannot back feed or inadvertently energize company facilities during emergency switching or other conditions.

CoServ requires the VLLD be located on an exterior wall and within ten feet of the CoServ meter; only under approved exception should it be located elsewhere. If the VLLD is more than ten feet from the CoServ meter, then CoServ requires a site directory placard (indicating the location of the VLLD) be placed on the customer’s equipment beside the CoServ meter or (if only an CoServ meter) on the CoServ meter base showing the location of the VLLD.
Goal of One-Line Diagram
File Upload
CoServ requires a sketch depicting the physical layout (layout sketch) and one-line diagram be submitted with the interconnection application.

  • The one-line diagram shows the sequence of the CoServ meter, the VLLD and the generation equipment.

  • The layout sketch is an overhead view of the physical layout between the CoServ meter, the VLLD and the distance between the two.

Generic examples of these sketches are available here.
