scheme is critical; no one wants to
work with a system that is too
complex to follow, operators will
simply look for shortcuts.

In many power distribution
projects key interlocks are often left

complication of multiple
switchgear suppliers who, unless
key interlocks are specified,
often supply their standard
product which can be awkward and
unsuitable. Involving Fortress in the
