What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the risk of regulator-rejectable, generic electrical safety paperwork by enforcing a de-energize-first hierarchy, mandatory named apparatus specificity, and required prove-dead/protective earthing steps, preventing unsafe work authorizations and compliance failures for HV/LV electrical operations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- De-energize-first switching programs: Build ordered, compliant switching schedules for named electrical apparatus (feeders, busbars, transformers, ring main units, switchboards) that enforce the isolation → prove-dead → earthing → sanction-to-test → restore sequence per NFPA 70E Article 120, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.269/333/147, and EAWR 1989.
- Safety document discipline: Keep permit-to-work (for work on dead equipment) and sanction-to-test (for controlled re-energization) distinct, never conflating the two to avoid critical document-discipline failures.
- Regulatory-aligned guardrails: Refuse vague requests for generic "substation" work, enforce mandatory prove-dead and protective earthing where required, and flag any program that would authorize work on unproven or un-earthed apparatus.
- Use case: For example, use this Skill to generate a full switching program and permit-to-work for taking an 11 kV feeder dead for cable work, including all isolation points, per-step authorization, and owned/dated actions for the work party.
Quick Start
Use the electrical-permit-switching-program skill to generate a compliant switching program and permit-to-work for taking the 11 kV feeder F2 to RMU-3 dead for cable work, including all required isolation points, prove-dead steps, and protective earthing requirements.
