Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:39 a.m. on September 9, 2015, an employee was aligning a new 750 volt transformer on a concrete pad. The employee was leaning against an existing 480 volt 3 phase metal cabinet using it as leverage to push the new transformer into place. While pushing on the outside of the existing metal cabinet, the employee reduced the distance between the cabinet and the bus bar causing an arc flash. The employee received burns to 60% of his upper body and was killed.
