| Summary Nr: 201140373 | Event: 04/26/1997 | Burn - Voltage Tester Failed | ||||
| An electrician was working in a substation. He was performing preventive maintenance, cleaning the low-voltage (480-volt) side of a transformer. The electrician tried to test the incoming high-voltage (12-kilovolt) conductors with a tester rated for 600 volts maximum. The tester failed, and the ensuing electric arc burned the employee. He sustained second- and third-degree burns to both his hands and to his face. He was hospitalized for his injuries. | ||||||
