IF a diesle generator has an arc flash label "HC DANGEROUS" on the electric gen end and the gen gets started at the transfer switch that also closes a 2000 amp breaker on gen startup, [transfer switch is a HC dangerous also]. How can this be started safe as per 70E ? Switch gear is rated HC 4. Generator startup could be for testing online or offline.
thanks to all for your help.
 
Would it be that when the generator is operating there is hazardous condition and ppe is needed if practical or we need a remote switch ? Thanks foe the resonse
