1. Large general service is network general service provided to customers who have in the previous calendar year half or more than half of the normal billings at 1,000 kW of maximum demand or greater, and also standard general service provided to customers who have in the previous calendar year half or more than half of their normal billings at 1,000 kW of maximum demand or greater and have more than half of their normal billings at less than 10,000 kW of maximum demand. Classification of new customers will be based on Seattle City Light's estimate of maximum demand in the current year.
2. For customers metered on the primary side of a transformer, Seattle City Light will either program the meter to deduct computed transformer losses or provide a discount for transformer losses by reducing the monthly kWh billed by the number of kWh computed in Section 21.49.057, Subsection A.
3. For customers who provide their own transformation from City Light's standard distribution system voltage of 4 kV, 13 kV, or 26 kV to a utilization voltage, a discount for transformer investment will be provided in the amount stated in Section 21.49.057, Subsection A. Existing customers served by City Light's 34.5 kV system as of January 1, 1995 shall be considered as receiving standard distribution voltage for the purpose of this section. This 34.5 kV voltage will not be offered as a standard distribution system voltage for any new customers.

SCHEDULE VRC is an optional rate schedule for high demand general service provided to city customers eligible to be served under Schedule HDC . A customer that chooses this rate schedule may not return to a standard rate schedule for a period of 1 year after electing this schedule, provided that, should a new rate ordinance which changes Schedule VRC be adopted during this time, the customer may request return to a standard rate schedule on the effective date of the new ordinance.

Option 1 -- DJ-COB (DJ-COB price in ¢/kWh - 0.07¢/kWh) x 1.1562 + 0.15¢/kWh

The DJ-COB (Dow Jones-California Oregon Border) price is the appropriate peak or off-peak DJ-COB firm price converted to cents per kWh for the day and time period of the consumption. Peak and off-peak periods will be as defined by the DJ-COB price rather than as defined in the Demand Charges section of Schedule VRC or elsewhere in the ordinance codified in this section. In the case that a price is not available for a given day, the average of the preceding and following days' prices will be used. Peak and off-peak prices will be calculated separately via this method.

Option 2 -- DJ Mid-Columbia (DJ-Mid-Columbia Price in ¢/kWh) x 1.1562 + 0.15¢/kWh

The DJ Mid-Columbia (Dow Jones Mid-Columbia) price is the appropriate firm peak or off-peak DJ Mid-Columbia price index converted to cents per kWh for the day and time period of the consumption. Peak and off-peak periods will be as defined by the DJ Mid-Columbia price index rather than as defined in the Demand Charges section of Schedule VRC or elsewhere in this ordinance. In the case that a price is not available for a given day, the average of the preceding and following days' prices will be used.

1. When any inductive load causes unsatisfactory conditions on the Department's system due to induction, the Department may, at its discretion, install reactive kVA-hour meters and make a monthly charge in addition to demand and energy charges whenever electricity delivered to the customer has an average monthly power factor of less than 0.97.
2. Unless specifically otherwise agreed, the Department shall not be obligated to deliver electricity to the customer at any time at a power factor below 0.85.
3. The average power factor is determined as follows:
   
   
4. The meter for measurement of reactive kVA hours shall be ratcheted to prevent reverse registration.
5. All installations of power factor corrective equipment shall be subject to the approval of the Department. The customer's corrective equipment shall be switched with the load so that at no time will it supply leading reactive kVAs to the Department's distribution system unless written Department approval is obtained to do so.
6. This monthly charge may be waived in whole or in part to the extent that the Department determines that a power actor of less than 0.97 would be advantageous to the Department or if the addition of corrective equipment would be detrimental to the operation of the Department's distribution system.
7. Customers who install new or enlarged arc furnaces shall install static var generators for flicker control and power factor correction for the entire arc furnace load. The generators shall have one-half cycle response time and independent phase control, supply sufficient reactive power to prevent objectionable flicker at the common connection point of the arc furnace with other utility customers, maintain a minimum power factor of 0.97, and be filtered to limit the total harmonic current to no more than the percentage of fundamental current given in "IEEE Recommended Practices and Requirements for Harmonic Control in Electric Power Systems, IEEE-519," latest revision.
