Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:00 a.m. on September 23, 2008, Employee #1, a certified electrician, was told by his boss to change a circuit breaker on a panel. The location of the incident site is a maintenance room in a hangar with 4160-V sub-station (Jeffries three-phase 4160-V transformer) for furnace distribution. The particular line Employee #1 worked on is a 480-V and 200-amp circuit breaker.

The switch on circuit breaker exploded when Employee #1 tried to turn the power off. Employee #1 caught on fire and was seriously burned. Employee #1 suffered second-degree and third-degree burns and was hospitalized until December 8, 2008.
