Investigation Summary
Two electricians were routing conductors behind the vertical busbars of a large floor-mounted, high-ampacity circuit breaker cabinet. As of them fed a grounding conductor to his coworker, the conductor slipped and contacted one of the 277-volt busbars, which had not been deenergized. A phase-to-phase electrical fault occurred, and the ensuing electric arc burned both employees. One of the injured employees was able to use a portable telephone to call for assistance under his employer's emergency plan. The employees were hospitalized at a burn center.
