The first thing most company's are going to tell you is that automatic reclosers being placed in one shot is for protection of equipment and not to be relied on for the protection of lineman, with that being said I have never met a lineman who thought if there was a problem that 2 more shots was a good thing, myself included. Some company's won't give you a one shot unless you are working on mainline feeder and yet due to breaker settings if you are working behind 140 amp fuses it will operate the station breaker once before blowing the fuse, as far as lineman counting on the one shot to keep them out of trouble, I hope not, that sounds like something that a manager who has no background in line work. What are your current procedure for getting a one shot?
