A hot-line hold is an assurance to the worker that an automatic protective device has been set to not reclose in the event the line or equipment becomes de-energized. The applicable device will not be re-energized until the appropriate dispatcher determines workers are in the clear. A hot-line hold always pertains to energized lines or equipment.

If a hot-line hold is required, it should be taken from the closest automatic protective devices sourcing the work location. A hot-line hold will be given after appropriate automatic protective devices have been set to not reclose and the appropriate working voltage has been identified. Please complete the form at the link below at least one day before you need a hot-line hold. Direct any questions to applicable Region desk. Thank you!
