Investigation Summary
A lead electrician was installing a new fuse in a 12,000-amp, 3-phase, 480-volt main power panel during a live switchover. He was bolting a breaker into an existing panel board to feed a gymnasium, when he dropped a bolt or screw inside the panel. The fastener landed on a busbar, causing an arc flash fire. The electrician sustained second-degree burns to his upper torso and third-degree burns to his hands. He was hospitalized.
