Hi all,
My electrical company is currently writing operating procedures. The written procedures will cover service upgrades for residential installations.
One of the main focuses will be the disconnections at the service supply wires where they attach to the service entrance conductors, usually at the drip loop. During upgrades we disconnect the service supply wires while they are live/hot. This disconnection is considered the most dangerous part of the job. The written operating procedures will cover steps on how to do this in the most practical and safe way.
Some of the procedures that will be covered are the use of ladders, hand tools and protected clothing and securing the hot supply wires and making them safe before reconnection.
I would appreciate any input from the members of this forum because of the wide knowledge of the membership so that I may be able to write a complete detailed standard operating procedure plan.
Thanks in advance.
Michael
