Burn - Electrical Fault in Fuses

A plumber was repairing a 45-metric-ton air conditioning unit located on the roof of an office building. After replacing three 30-ampere Bussman-Fusetron fuses, he closed the 400-ampere main circuit breaker. The three fuses failed and caused an electrical fault. The ensuing electric arc burned the employee's left hand, with which he had shielded his face.
