Investigation Summary
An electrician was connecting conductors inside energized switchgear at a newly constructed building. He was working at the bottom of the 480-volt, 4000-ampere switchgear, connecting grounding conductors. The small uninsulated ratchet wrench he was using contacted the energized vertical bus, causing an electrical fault. The employee sustained severe burns to his face and arms from the ensuing electric arc. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
