BURN - ELECTRICAL FAULT IN ELECTROLYTIC CELL LINE

Two electricians were connecting electrolytic cells to a cell line. The 640-volt, direct current cell line remained energized while the employees were working. As they were installing a cell on the south side of the cell line, one of them brought a metal tool they were using into contact with a cell on the north side of cell line. This caused an electrical fault. The ensuing electric arc severely burned the two employees. They were hospitalized for their injuries.
