Investigation Summary
At 1:00 p.m. on October 17, 2016, a 22-year old engineer was electrocuted while troubleshooting hydraulics on an injection molding machine with a hydraulic cart that provides hydraulic power independent of the IM machine. The cart is powered via 480 volt 3 phase from an adjacent IM machine. The cart will plug into the other machine via plug and cord. Some machines' plugs require an adapter. The employee was using a pigtail with a 30 amp plug on one end and a 20 amp plug on the other. The pigtail had reverse polarity in that one energized leg and was wired into the ground lug on the opposite side. This energized a portion of the cart and hydraulic hoses. The employee was handling the metal end of the hoses and was electrocuted. The origin of the pigtail is unknown at this time.
