Investigation Summary
At approximately 5:30 a.m. on September 25, 2006, Employee #1 was working on an energized electrical panel to remove circuit breaker boxes from a Siemens Power Board, 480/277 volts, 600 amp. He had taken off the front panel cover, exposing three-phase busbars, but the lower section of the cover was not removed. Somehow the lower section of the cover shorted out the busbars and caused an explosion and a flash. Employee #1 suffered flash burns on his arms, hands, and left leg. He was transported to the hospital, where he underwent surgery and was treated for ten days.
