Investigation Summary
On May 5, 2008, Shumway Construction was filling in a trench between the substation and the generating house. The distance was approximately 30 feet between them. An excavator was used to get materials to fill in the trench. The excavator apparently hit the overhead power lines. This was the point of contact and no employees were hurt. A transformer overheated when electricity started arcing between phases because of the generator putting out electricity in an ungrounded delta system.
