Under caution, what mode should the viper recloser be in?

The appropriate mode for the viper recloser under caution is hot line tag on. This mode is specifically designed to allow the maintenance crew to work safely on power lines while ensuring that the recloser remains in a controlled state. By activating the hot line tag on feature, lineworkers can be sure that they are operating under safe conditions, as this mode prevents the recloser from automatically closing during maintenance activities.

It provides a way to keep the system operational while ensuring the safety of personnel on site, effectively allowing for work to be performed without electrical hazards. This operational mode is crucial for adhering to safety protocols during maintenance or inspection, facilitating both operational safety and reliability while minimizing risk.
