All -
What are you guys doing with respect to your UG manhole systems? Specifically, if you have calculated energies, what are you doing with PPE?

One other issue to consider. Years ago I was in a small vault checking on some equipment when I noticed a portion of cable had "blown out" at some point allowing an energized 7,200 volt aluminum cable to be exposed. Somehow it was still operating. Didn't hang around very long!

Enter manhole in HRC4. Check all cables with tic tracer. No live voltage found exit manhole and re-enter in HRC2.
De-energizing is often not practical. How many square miles of city is it acceptable to de-energize before inconvienence become infeasible?
Most manhole accidents to not occur because there was a conincidental fault on an adjacent cable. Most are from touch an energized conductor, by accident.
