Narrative

According to the electrician, the wire came out of the lug and landed on the fuse holder causing the arc when the employee went to install the new fuse. The employee was not able to see the loose wire due to the plastic guard that keeps individuals from making contact with the live top. During the investigation it was discovered that the box was properly locked out.
