Abstract: A 100-horsepower 480-volt motor was running with no load when it began to slow down. A mill manager, thinking that the motor overload protection had deenergized the motor, pushed the reset on the motor starter. A fault in the motor caused the starter to fail, causing an electric arc. The manager sustained burns on his hands and legs. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
