Hydro One used to build a system called IPACS (integrated system protection
and control) that would telemeter and protect a HV Hydro station, all based
on a few CPU algorithms. In Peru (?) they wanted to see this "short it out"
done. Put the grounds on the 3000A bus and turn on the 28kV feed and let it
do it's job.....scary!!
