Have you ever been involved in an arc flash incident?

- A person that shares a mistake or bad situation like this has the character of a real man. Not afraid to share his mistakes so someone else can learn. Thank you very much!

As an electrician, I'm just gonna say, that I'm glad you're still alive to tell the story.

You’re always one arc flash away from being a plumber.

Contractor friend and I were moving a charged panel box one inch. Removed four screws, moved box, replaced three screws, but the fourth was troublesome. He pushed the panel hard while I tried to used the screwgun on the fourth. I couldn't get the angle right and keep the gun safely away from the buss bars. He wanted to try so I handed him the gun. He couldn't get it either, but asked for one last try, so push harder. Our faces were close to the open box when the gun touched the buss bar. The explosion sounded like a 30 cal rifle shot and the white light blinded us both. Sparks were catching our clothes on fire but we couldn't see where exactly. We beat on our bodies to extinguish small flames that we couldn't see and yelled to each other "I'm on fire. Are you all right?". Not sure if the other person was even alive. Couldn't see or hear for five seconds, then sight came back to see the partner beating out magnesium sparks still flaming on clothes and floor. Both alive, but the magnesium frame of the drill had a big hole in it even though it still worked. Kept it as a reminder. God protected the simple that day.

Complacency happens, it's our biggest enemy in safety. Everyone does it with driving.

Electricity is absolutely no joke. I work in industrial in 480V/200A everyday and I will never be found not using arc flash gear no matter how dumb I think it is it could someday save my life.

[aPrimateHerder]

Thanks for sharing. Hoping for a full speedy recovery.

[kylejones]

Thank God you're still with us brother.

[LazyLuxuryHacks]

Thanks for sharing. This is a good reminder

Electronics technician here, the amount of ultraviolet radiation you can get instantly in an arc is no joke. The arc can reach temperatures that are truly ridiculous and even though its just a short instant it really is a hell of alot of heat for the human body to endure. Im sorry you had to go through this but hopefully your story can help others to not have to get hurt.

I wish more people could see and understand this!
Bless u man I hope you recover quickly and well.

Working on a House relocating. The range box was surface mounted went to the panel turned off the only two pole 50 in the panel and it was labeled range stuck The tick tester into the hot never got no beep proceeded to dismantle the receptacle unscrew the box from the wall and when I went to grab all the conductors to push the wire out of the connector so I could pull it through the floor. It blew up in my hand line. One line two neutral ground right in the Palm of my hand second degree burns took a month to heal properly. Come to find out there was actually two separate services on the house. One on the back one on the front as it used to be two apartments learned an important lesson that day

[autismo]

You are a very lucky man to still be with us. Hope the healing process wasnt too painful and wish a full recovery.

[sgoatrTWO]

All the guys that aint got time to test to make sure LOTO is in place, this warning is for you.
Glad you're still alive, now you can officially go by sparky.

[JoeLiberalism]

Good for sharing that situation!!!! Give this man a hand everyone!!

[Bacongrease]

Not to make light of your situation but typically the available incident energy at this level is typically much lower than you get an industrial or commercial facilities with large transformers and breakers. Thank God you recovered. Some of these guys have paid with their lives. So easy to take for granted when we do it day in and day out.

[johnhall]

[Christ_is_King]
