My company is implementing a safety policy stating that opening a "Touch Safe Fuse Holder" with voltage present is considered hot work and we need to get a "Hot Work Permit" to do so. We are not talking about under load but only having voltage and they are telling us that we need to disconnect all of the strings that are feeding the combiner or string inverter because safe touch fuse holders are not a means of disconnect. This seems like an insane amount of labor costs to simply check a fuse. Does anybody know of any documentation stating that opening a safe touch fuse holder with voltage present is a safe practice.
Thanks
