Investigation Summary
An employee was conducting a short circuit test on a switchboard. He was using a test wagon manufactured by Westinghouse Electric Corporation (his employer). A standard wall-type light switch controlled the test terminals on the wagon. The employee connected the test set to a receptacle and held the three 480-volt terminals in his left hand. His right hand contacted one of the energized terminals, and he was electrocuted.
