<br /> tap or splice to the service drop or service point.
<br /> (c)"Service-entrance conductors, underground system"means the service conductors between the
<br /> terminals of the service equipment and the point of connection to the service lateral or service point.
<br /> Where the service equipment is located outside the building walls,there may be no service-entrance
<br /> conductors or they may be entirely outside the building.
<br /> (d)"Service lateral"means the underground service conductors from the service point to the point of
<br /> connection to the service-entrance conductors in a terminal box, meter, or other enclosure. Where
<br /> there is not terminal box, meter, or other enclosure,the point of connection is the point of entrance of
<br /> the service conductors into the building.
<br /> A"stand-alone amplified sound or public address system"is a system that has distinct wiring and equipment for audio

<br /> apartment complex,etc.)except for a single family residence; or
<br /> (b) On an outdoor project(e.g. irrigation system, farm, street lighting,traffic signalization, etc.)where the
<br /> trainee is more than 1,000'from the supervising electrician or where the trainee is more than 200'from
<br /> the supervising electrician and out of sight.
<br /> "System design review"means a set of design documents that include the manufacturer's installation information, a
<br /> legible one-line diagram of the system design, and calculations used to determine voltage and current within the
