Investigation Summary
At 11:00 a.m. on January 22, 2013, an employee was performing upgrades to a campus electrical distribution switchgear. The employee was working with phase voltage that measured 4,160 volts AC from phase and 23,000 volts AC from phase to ground. Using a utility knife, the employee was installing bus extensions when he was electrocuted by the 4kv switchgear due to the lack of de-energizing the proper breaker.
