Investigation Summary
Two power line workers were asked by their supervisor to perform a switching operation at a substation. They were given a written switching order for this task. Following the written procedure in the order, they opened a disconnect that was energized at 12 kilovolts. Apparently, the disconnect failed, causing an electrical fault. The two employees sustained second- and third-degree burns as a result of the ensuing electric arc. They were hospitalized for their injuries.
