Investigation Summary
On August 12, 2013, Employee #1 was troubleshooting a 480-volts HVAC unit, which was located on a concrete pad on the side of a two-story brick residence building. The unit was a Heil, Model Number PHB 324000K000 C1 and Serial Number C100342805. It weighed 3.5 ton and was 41 in. long by 31.5 in. wide by 47 in. tall. The unit had a 3-blade fan and the opening where the capacitor was located was 18.5 in. by 31.5 in. Employee #1 was not using a rubber or insulating kneeling pad nor wearing any personal protection equipment (i.e., gloves or safety glasses). He was on his knees with his left hand on the left side of the metal unit near the capacitor and his right hand was on the right side of the unit. The capacitor was a mini generator that provided power for the HVAC unit. When he contacted the capacitor and the unit, Employee #1 received an electric shock that electrocuted him. There was a fluke voltage meter and a set of wire cutters lying beside the three-terminal capacitor. Employee #1 had an electrical burn on his left hand to indicate the point entry of the electrical current and a burn on his right hand to indicate the exit point. The energy to the unit was also not isolated.
