                                       - 12 -                                         

               Although not a common occurrence, petitioners have moved and           
          reused some items (e.g., electrical panels, transformers, and               
          motor control centers) in connection with remodeling projects.              
          Workers started and completed the task in one evening.  The items           
          were not damaged by being moved from one location within the                
          hospital to another, and after they were moved, the items                   
          functioned in the same manner as they had prior to being moved.             
               The parties have stipulated that the percentage of the                 
          electrical load carried by the primary and secondary electrical             
          distribution systems to hospital equipment is as follows:                   
                    Type of facility               Percentage                         
                    Large Medical/Surgical             30                             
                    Small Medical/Surgical             36                             
                    Small Psychiatric                  23                             
                    Large Psychiatric                  26                             
          The balance of the electrical load is carried to items related to           
          the operation or maintenance of petitioners' buildings.                     
               2.  Branch Electrical Wiring and Connections and Special               
               Electrical Equipment                                                   
               a.  In General                                                         
               The branch wiring in the subject category is the wiring that           
          extends from the secondary distribution panels to either a duplex           
          outlet at or in a wall surface, or, in instances where a piece of           
          machinery is "hardwired",7 to a junction box mounted on or within           

          7   When equipment is "hardwired", the wiring connection of that            
          equipment is attached and secured directly to the electrical                
                                                             (continued...)
