Event: 12/18/1997
BURN - ELECTRICAL FAULT IN CIRCUIT BREAKER

The chief engineer for an insurance fund noticed erratic voltage at a circuit breaker for a fire pump. The next day, a work crew removed the circuit breaker from the cubicle and sent it to a switchgear servicing company for testing. The company returned the circuit breaker the same day. Later that afternoon, the chief engineer, a stationary engineer, and a building maintenance worker, none of whom was wearing any protective gear, were racking in the tested circuit breaker when an electrical fault occurred. The ensuing electric arc burned the employees, who were hospitalized for their injuries.
