An interconnection request may be eligible for expedited
interconnection review under rule
199-45.8 (476),
199-45.9 (476), or
199-45.10 (476) (as described in
rule 199-45.7 (476)) if the
distributed generation facility uses interconnection equipment that is
lab-certified.
(1) Interconnection
equipment is deemed lab-certified if:
a. The
interconnection equipment has been successfully tested in accordance with IEEE
Standard 1547.1 (as appropriate for lab testing) or complies with UL Standard
1741, as demonstrated by any NRTL recognized by OSHA to test and certify
interconnection equipment;
b. The
interconnection equipment has been labeled and is publicly listed by the NRTL
at the time of the interconnection application;
c. The applicant's proposed use of the
interconnection equipment falls within the use or uses for which the
interconnection equipment was labeled and listed by the NRTL; and
d. The generator, other electric sources, and
interface components being utilized are compatible with the interconnection
equipment and are consistent with the testing and listing specified by the NRTL
for this type of interconnection equipment.
(2) Lab-certified interconnection equipment
does not require further design testing or production testing, as specified by
IEEE Standard 1547, Section 11, or additional interconnection equipment
modification to meet the requirements for expedited review; however, the
applicant shall conduct all commissioning tests or periodic testing as
specified by IEEE Standard 1547, Section 11. The utility may conduct additional
witness tests, but no more frequently than annually.
