The permit to do work in an electric cabinet without turning off the power used to also be called a hot work permit, mainly because it was the same from.

Now work near live power more than 24VDC is banned unless the power is keeping someone alive, or the person performing the work is a contractor.

To us hot work is work that creates heat.

What you call “hot work” we call “working live”. I don’t think that there’s a limit on what you can work on live, I think everyone or most isolate first.
