The following states have EUSERC standards Pocos:
Washington
Oregon
California
Nevada
Idaho
Arizona
Montana
Utah
Wyoming
Colorado
Alaska
Hawaii
( 30% of the national population )
EUSERC started in Southern California (Southern California Edison) (1945) and has expanded north and east over the years.
Its primary concern is for the safety of utility crews and emergency responders.
This is done by excluding most of NEMA's product line -- and designing EUSERC's own. EUSERC doesn't build anything. What has happened is that one by one the NEMA players have introduced EUSERC specific Service equipment.
As a result, I chuckle at many ECN posters. Their queries go to design issues that EUSERC has taken entirely out of our hands... starting with the size of the typical Service for a single family home. It's 200A 240V --- period. (It only goes up for McMansions... 320A 240V single phase.)
You'll have to plead with the Poco for a variance.
Similarly, EUSERC (at least my Poco's) flatly mandate 100A 240V temp power Services. (The residential crews don't set temp power -- they set permanent power from the outset.)
EUSERC style Service equipment can be found directly in every NEMA player's catalog. It can be spotted as it will be invariably a non-minimalist design.
