### Transformer Recommendation Request

Requests for a transformer recommendation are submitted to the CPD and must include the following:
- Service Memo
- Approved House Wiring Inspection Report
- Pictures of the vicinity
- Pictures of the tapping pole/pole number
The CPD evaluates the electrical plan and load to determine the transformer requirement based on the following:
- Transformer loading is generally recommended at 80% of its total capacity.
- Primary metering is required for consumers with a total connected load of 190 amperes and above (computed at 240v secondary - three or single-phase load).
- Secondary metering (three- or single-phase load) is used for consumers with a total connected load above 90 Amps and below 190 Amps.
