Narrative

On June 6, 2022, an employee was working inside a live electrical panel, part of a pump station system for water irrigation on a golf course. While he was troubleshooting, a wire connected to the system was dragged across the 480-volt fuse for the variable frequency drive, a type of motor controller. The resulting arc flash caused burns to his left hand, arm, and the backs of both legs.
