(a)
				  Lot electrical service and its equipment for a new lot shall be rated at not
				  less than 100-amperes (24,000 volt-amperes) and shall be listed and labeled
				  "Service Equipment", "Suitable for Use as Service Equipment" or "Suitable for
				  Use as Service Equipment for Manufactured Homes or Mobilehomes". MH-unit lot
				  service equipment shall be capable of supplying not less than the required
				  demand to an MH-unit. The rating of the overcurrent protection in the MH-unit
				  lot service equipment shall not exceed the rating of the feeder assembly
				  connected by a permanent wiring method. MH-unit lot service equipment may
				  contain any or all of the approved receptacles conforming to section 1186 of
				  this chapter.
(b) The lot service
				  equipment for existing lots need not be upgraded to comply with the minimum
				  standards contained in subsection (a). However, subject to the conditions and
				  park approvals contained in section 1188, lot service must meet the rated load
				  of the existing or proposed unit installed on the lot, including other attached
				  loads.
(c) MH-unit lot service
				  equipment may also contain a means for supplying accessory buildings or
				  structures or building components or other electrical equipment located on the
				  lot, provided the MH-unit lot service equipment is designed and listed for such
				  application.
(d) Only one power
				  supply connection shall be made to a unit.
(e) Lot service equipment may also contain
				  additional receptacles for supplying portable electrical equipment, provided
				  that such receptacles are listed grounding-type receptacles. All 120-volt,
				  single-phase, 15- and 20-ampere receptacle outlets in lot service equipment
				  shall be protected by ground-fault circuit protection. The requirement for
				  ground-fault circuit protection shall not apply to equipment or installations
				  constructed, installed, or approved for construction or installation prior to
				  September 1, 1975.
(f) When an
				  electrical meter is installed as an integral component of the lot service
				  equipment, it shall be of a class or rating that will accurately measure all
				  loads up to the rated ampacity of the lot service equipment.
(g) When the electrical meter-base equipment
				  is to be attached to the MH-unit at the time of installation, an alteration
				  permit for the unit is required pursuant to Section 18029 of the Health and
				  Safety Code.
(h) Parks constructed
				  after January 1, 1997, shall have individual electric meters for each lot and
				  shall be served by electrical distribution facilities owned, operated, and
