Helping the Customer

Required Information

Now you should be ready to assist a customer in matching a product to an application. When you meet with the customer, conduct a short interview to obtain the following information:

  • Indoor or outdoor installation

  • Single-phase or three-phase service

  • Meter pack or metering stacks (assuming both are approved for use in the area)

  • Main rating required

  • Tenant breaker ratings and quantity required

  • Local code requirements (jaws, rings, connectors, etc.)

Example

For example, after interviewing a customer, suppose you have the following information:

  • Outdoor installation

  • Three-phase, four wire service at 120/208 volts

  • Main is a three-pole, 800-amp fusible switch

  • Tenant breakers: 16 100-amp, 2-pole and 3 200-amp, 2-pole tenant breakers, all providing 22 KAIC

  • Utility requirements: manual bypasses, ring-type sockets with screw-type sealing rings, no more than four meter sockets allowed in a stack

With this information, you should be able to go to the product catalog and select products for the customer’s application.
