Burn - Electrical Fault in Switchgear

Two employees working for an electrical contractor were pulling conductors to upgrade a 100-ampere service to a 200-ampere service. The workers were pulling the conductors into energized 400-ampere switchgear. An electrical fault occurred, and the ensuing electric arc burned one of the workers. He sustained first- and second-degree burns to his forearms and face.
