Investigation Summary
AN EMPLOYEE WAS CONNECTING THE LEAD OF A LIGHTNING ARRESTER TO A 7200-VOLT LINE TO A REGULATOR BANK. AS HE WAS REACHING OVER AND AROUND THE ENERGIZED ARRESTER, HIS LEFT ARM CONTACTED THE LINE LEAD AND HIS SWEAT-SOAKED SHIRT CONTACTED THE GROUNDING ELECTRODE FOR THE ARRESTER AT THE SAME TIME. THIS CAUSED A FAULT AND A FLASH FIRE. THE EMPLOYEE DIED OF HIS INJURIES.
