Electrical Burn | How I BLEW UP MY HAND Upgrading An Electrical Panel

Electrical Burn | How I BLEW UP MY HAND Upgrading An Electrical Panel
In this video Master Electrician Stephan shares the story of how he blew up his hand upgrading an electrical panel. Some say 120/240 volt systems can't hurt you. Stephan would disagree and encourage every electrician to wear proper PPE whenever working on any live electrical system.

Have you ever been burned or seen someone burned in an arc flash incident?

[@jongarrison8826]

Thanks for sharing your story. It's a good reminder of how important it is to not get complacent.

[@landerselectric]

You’re welcome. And 100% agree!

[@joeshmoe8952]

I’m surprised the apprentice didn’t catch the mistake, not turning off the main breaker. At least you’re alive, that’s all that matters now.

[@landerselectric]

Well Paul was only a first year so I understand him not knowing what to look for. And yes, I agree. Never again will I work live without proper PPE and a full JSA and Hot work permit.

[@t-rod9858]

[@landerselectric]
