[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 4018988, member: 44288"] I have watched sparkies from across the room using hydraulic? actuators to energize systems with full arc flash suits on. They opened the cabinets and were using a pump handle like on a jack to start closing a breaker. When it energized, it made a WHAM and a CRACK at the same time. They were satisfied it was working I guess because they slapped each other on the back and left. Did I get this description of events right? I was also at a few plants where if you stepped over a painted line in the electrical room you were ushered out and only came back after you watched the safety movie again and signing a write up. The line was supposedly the safe distance from the wall of electrical panels and it was more than the normal 3 ft. I never crossed that line. [/QUOTE]
