We have Desalter unit in our plant. When it is off line and available for maintenance. I want to discharge the positive and negative electrodes (within the vessel) to ground, for safe working on bushing entrance assembly. My question is does this comply with NFPA standards or any other applicable standards. Or discharging HV equipment in hazardous area is not permitted. Your guidance will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
