Gotta be careful with electricity!
for about 10 years, and that man didn't have any where near the required safety gear to survive that blast. The temp in there reached easilly 2000F. Hot enought to vaperize copper. NOT MELT, VAPERIZE. I doubt he survived, let that be a lesson, arcflash is serious and WILL kill you if your not propperly dressed. Even propperly dressed that man would have sustained heavy injury anyway.

By aomer 1218824733 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removehope the guy made it out ok does anybody know
By elpolin 1245381870 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveOh he's definitly racking in that breaker, Probably had a load on but maybe not. It could have been wet, a faulty breaker. I'll give a scenario. We received a breaker (4160v) Breaker repaired and tested at a lab with paper work that it can be racked in. The breaker would not go into the cabinet after trying a couple of times. We removed the breaker to inspect for damage or something. We found that the lab left two shunt bars across the load and feed sides of the breaker. If it were not for the shutters in the cabinet, there would have been atleast two dead people there that day. The blast in this video, without a doubt that man died and was not wearing the proper protective gear that would not have helped anyway fromt he type of blast he was exposed to. OSHA only recognizes up to 40 CAL suits because a direct blast any larger your going to die anyway. We have 100 CAL suits but that's just so they have something to bury after the blast. yea, you won't be burned but the concusion is definitely going to kill you. This guy was well over 40 CAL, Vaporized Copper went straight through his body.

By dinwitty 1217546055 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveLooks like the poor fella was racking in a high voltage breaker with a short circuit on the load side. The temperature in the heart of the arc flash was about 10,000 deg F - hotter than the surface of the sun! All copper and aluminum was volitalized.
By Acmonger 1217434143 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThat looked pretty serious. I hope that guy is alright.

By GoBz0r 1217362379 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou spelled vaporize wrong. . .twice.
By freedaverage5 1217534373 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveNo, my friend - the spelling is not wrong. Americans use Z while Brits use the S. Both are correct, depending of course which continent you are from. Check the facts and the splling before you point out another's mistakes. It could prove to be very embarrassing if you don't. By the way, there are three spelling mistakes in this comment.
By Geckobabe 1218979279 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyes, my friend - the spelling is wrong. and you got it all wrong. it's not about vaporize or vaporise. the dude was talking about what founder3 wrote twice..VAPERIZE. Check the facts and the spelling before you point out other's mistakes.it could prove to be very embarrassing if you don't.By the way, there are three spelling mistakes in your comment.
By jimsky 1219764033 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWho gives a shit how you spell vaporize? You people are missing the point here. The guy, if he survived, was very nearly killed by an extremely intense arc flash. This probably occurred because somebody did something in an unsafe manner, which is the root cause of about 85% if all accidents.
