The CLEC is responsible to engineer the power consumption required at the collocation arrangement and is responsible for taking into consideration any special circumstances in determining drain/load and fuse size of the feed.
Provide the total number of “A” feeds and/or the total number of “B” feeds for each type of collocation request. Indicate the requested drain/load per feed and the fuse size per feed.
Fused capacity shall not exceed 2.5 times the CLEC specified load per feed. (Frontier bills for DC power in accordance with the applicable tariff provision.) Drain/load per feed must be expressed in whole numbers and not fractions.
When ordering multiple power feeds, please indicate each feed’s requirement separately. (Example: Feed Requirement 1:2 – “A” feeds, each with 20 amps drain/load per feed and each feed fused at 30 amps; and 2 “B” feeds, each with 20 amps drain/load per feed and each feed fused at 30 amps. Feed Requirement 2: 1 “A” feed, with 10 amps drain/load and fused at 15 amps; and 1 “B” feed, with 10 amps drain/load and fused at 15 amps.)
Fusing at 2.5 times load may not be possible in all cases based on the CLEC specified load. In those situations, the CLEC must determine whether to choose a fuse size that is less than 2.5 times load or increase its load in order to conform to the industry fuse sizes.
Joint coordination may be required to identify applicable power feeds. Frontier must approve all drain/load or fusing changes to existing power cables. Please note all applicable tariff/interconnection agreement rates and augment intervals will apply for an increase in fuse or drain size that requires new cabling.
