2、t time constraints and were attempting to measure the voltage in a 15kV fuse cabinet. They were going to measure the voltage from phase to ground of approximately 7630 volts. The equipment they were using is engineered to contact high power lines or transformers out in the open for direct readings.
3、The linemen had contacted the phase conductor with one probe of the test meter and were attempting to make contact with a ground point in the fuse cabinet of the transformer when an electric flash occurred, indicating a ground fault. The ground fault went through and out of the back of the meter gro
4、und faulting to the cabinet enclosure. No one was injured but the fault caused an immediate interruption of power to the site electric feeder.Lesson(s) Learned: Using new equipment in hazardous environments without full understanding all the capabilities and restrictions can easily cause injury or e
5、quipment destruction. Add to this dangerous situation the “hurry up, lets get this job done“ attitude, is only adding fuel to an accident waiting to happen.Recommendation(s): Be sure training is thorough. All persons who will use the equipment (supervisors and technicians) need to understand the app
6、lication and restrictions of the new equipment. Do not let tight time constraints take precedence over any activity. Ensure all personnel understand their safety and other performance responsibilities and fully understand the new equipment and tasks.Evidence of Recurrence Control Effectiveness: N/AP
