What PPE is required, other than the normal confined space entry PPE, is required to enter a manhole that contains energized 5kV shielded cables? The purpose of the entry would be to remove and replace a faulted cable.

Bill,
That is all the standard confined space stuff...is there anything that is required just because the manhole contains insulated energized 5kV cables?
