Yep.That’ll do it. Cooks you from the inside out.
Bad deal.
Guy I grew up with was a licensed electrician like me.
Worked with the same company since he graduated high school.
July 3rd 2010 he was working a shutdown job in a GA Power substation.
He was a foreman. Finishing up. Switchgear was tagged dead.
They went in without their GA Power contact to buzz it that morning. (Main cause of the accident, he broke protocols)
Just had to put on dead fronts. He couldnt get the tabs to swing out right, so he backed into the switchgear to see what was up, and had another guy set the dead front.
Needless to say, it WASNT dead.
He backed into the phases(got close enough to arc over).
Cooked him. Most of the damage on his back, but blood poisoning is what gets you from the tissue destruction. That cooked meat wont support blood flow, as its dead tissue. He lived about 10 days, but never regained consciousness. Brain probably sustained critical damage during the initial hit as well.
