Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:45 a.m., an employee was vacuuming out the bottom section of a 15-kilovolt Cutler-Hammer circuit breaker cubicle. Apparently, he contacted the bottom of a fuse holder for one of the phases in the lower section of the enclosure, received an electric shock, and lost consciousness. Another employee went for help; plant personnel arrived and administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Emergency medical services transported the injured employee to a hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival at 11:40 a.m. He had been electrocuted.
