Narrative

The pump failed causing one of the fuses to blow in the pump starter, and because the starter did not trip it caused the motor to single-phase which caused the #3 Station Sub 600 amp disconnect to blow a fuse. The 600 amp disconnect in the Sub on the #3 station is burned up and needs to be replaced and 700HP pump burned up where fire started.
