Manual Hot Line Tag

The Hot Line Tag mode can be set locally using the HOT LINE TAG lever or remotely
using a SCADA or IntelliLink software command. The Hot Line Tag mode is normally
removed using the same method by which it was applied; however, the HOT LINE TAG
lever can be used to remove electronically set tags as well. The Hot Line Tag mode will
only be cleared when all manually set and electronically set tags have been cleared. This
approach satisfies NESC 442.E requirements, which allow local removal of a remotely
set Hot Line Tag mode if local indication of the electronically set Hot Line Tag mode
is provided.
To locally apply the Hot Line Tag mode, pull down on the HOT LINE TAG lever.
It can be "tagged " in this position using conventional procedures. See Figure 8 on
page 11. To remove the locally set Hot Line Tag mode, push up on the HOT LINE TAG
lever.
To remove a SCADA- or IntelliLink software-applied Hot Line Tag mode when a local
Hot Line Tag mode has also been applied, push up on the HOT LINE TAG lever. Then,
pull down and push up on the HOT LINE TAG lever once, without delay. To remove a
SCADA- or IntelliLink software-applied tag when a local Hot Line Tag mode has not
been applied, pull down and push up on the HOT LINE TAG lever twice, without delay.
The HOT LINE TAG indicator is located on the protection and control module. See
Figure 9 on page 13. When the Hot Line Tag mode is set, the HOT LINE TAG indicator
flashes for a ½ second every 2 seconds. Any trip in the Hot Line Tag profile will be per-
formed as a Three-Phase Trip operation. When the Hot Line Tag mode is removed,
the HOT LINE TAG indicator is off.
Figure 7. Pull down with a hookstick to manually apply the Hot Line Tag mode or to
manually apply the Ground Trip Block mode.
