Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 516310
Event: 12/08/1998
ELECTRIC SHOCK - DIRECT CONTACT WITH ENERGIZED PARTS

A 60-year-old employee was working alone in a laboratory. A step up transformer in the laboratory had exposed energized parts. This transformer fed a nearby capacitor. The employee's buttock contacted a part on the capacitor, which was energized at 4242 volts, while his hip was touching a grounded metal chassis. The employee was apparently electrocuted. (His trousers and skin had burn marks.)
