Investigation Summary
An electrical supervisor was checking the voltage on a new 480-volt power supply running to an existing switchboard. He was using a Micronta digital multimeter (Model No. 22-185) set at 3000 volts, ac. When he touched the meter leads to the conductors, a three-phase electrical fault occurred. The ensuing electric arc burned the employee. He was hospitalized with third-degree burns to his left forearm and both hands and with second-degree burns to his upper arm, anterior torso, and face.
