Abstract
A system may include a device that controls power to an electrical component of an electrical power distribution system. The system may also include a voltage detection device that may detect a presence of a voltage within a distance. The system may further include a control system that may receive location information via a receiver communicatively coupled to the control system, and adjust more operations of the device based on at least in part of the location information. The location information may be transmitted by the voltage detection device in response to detecting that the presence of the voltage is within the distance. The location information may correspond to the electrical component.
