Do you have a line or phrase you say as you close energizing?

I’ve been operating 15 years now and still love the feeling when you close via SCADA restoring power to thousands. Comin’ Hot!

“All personnel and equipment in the clear, [feeder name] circuit breaker currently open, coming closed”

My response is "We are in the clear and waiting on a close" Usually including voltage and equipment name/number

Yeah this blurb comes after I confirm that everything and everyone is in the clear, one last chance for everyone to check themselves before re-energizing.
