Weekly Question:
This week’s question was submitted from one of our forum members. I will post it here
When locking out or resetting a tripped breaker on a CAT 4 system (actually extreme danger), I have one electrician that says he feels more comfortable facing the distribution than facing away. He argues that the shield will protect him better than the Balaclava. He also says that the force needed to reset a tripped (1200 Amp) breaker is easier when facing the breaker. Our lockout rules say to face away, close your eyes and hold your breath (and pray), using your left hand. Which is safer?
To summarize, here is this week’s question:
When switching equipment, do you believe it better to face the equipment or face away.
Face equipment
Face away
Doesn’t matter
Something else
If you have a question you would like to see submitted as a “Question of the Week” pass it along to me and I’ll get it posted! – Jim
