That is a good article and I like that they address the issue of resetting circuit breakers without performing adequate tests to insure that you are not closing in to a fault.
I work in a large and aged facility (>>4000 motors up to 1500HP, some 1957 vintage switch gear) that has been poorly designed, maintained, and up until recently, operated with a policy that stated that a single reset of a tripped OCPD was acceptable - even encouraged - without first doing any sort of fault analysis.
Little or no consideration is given to the concern of things like a welded starter contact that would remove 1/2 of the fault handling capability of a series rated bucket, etc...
I like that this article is found on the web site of a safety organization rather than a regulatory agency or a PPE manufacturer, hopefully it would carry a bit more weight with the safety folks around here who are largely ignorant of any electrical safety concerns based on common sense and sound engineering practice.
I'm new to this industrial electricity world, having spent the first 30-ish years of my working life in the electronics world. I hope I don't step on any toes, but to make a pretty broad generalization here, I see a lot more lax engineering approach both at this facility and with system and equipment vendors than I'm used to.
I read this site diligently, one of the biggest reasons why being that I have seen a display of safety and sound engineering practice consciousness that is sorely needed in the industrial world.
