So thats why most of the HV distribution switchgear around has metal casing?
I've yet to see a grid switchfarm with plastic casing on the equipment.

Tried working on a GEC VMX breaker recently ?

I bet they turn that stuff off before they work on it though.

Generally do with switchgear, although live line working at HV is
commonplace.
