Cheap flash mitigation techniques

    Gentlemen,

    Would you know of methods which can be used to mitigate flash hazard with little to no cost? For a start ... I know changing protective device settings will help a lot.

    Regards

    You can look for remote racking/operation devices.

    Ever checked the cost of owning a racking system? I've called CBS for a quote of ArcSafe racking unit....its upwards of $15000. I do not know if this price is common on similar racking equipment.

    I guess my actual question is vague and very general but definately would make a great sticky thread :)

    Maybe your lowest first cost option is to shut it down. Bet the boss won't like that option either!

    Well if you have 10 substations that is a $1,500 per sub solution, thats as cheap as a solution can get. Besides chaging settings there is not a free or cheap solution.
