Donny's video
I am in the midst of a discussion with my peers regarding Donnies accident and we would like to know what initiated the blast.
Does anyone know?
Thank You.

Donnie just got done hooking up a large generator and was checking field rotation in the switchgear. He used a motor rotation tester as he had done many times before when a resistor in the tester failed and blew a puff of carbon in between the buss'. You're aware of what happened after that.
He's okay now and still with the same company

I recall he was using a phase rotation meter that failed. I rremember a comment made somewhere that you can see it (or what's left of it) in the bottom of the gear.

Yes, you can see it on the floor. It was a yellow Greenlee motor rotation indicator.

No, the vid's there, but embedding isn't allowed, and the sound is disabled. I just watched it.

Donnie didn't remove that video by request. You can blame Nickelback for that.

terrible, terrible stuff - this electricity. I'm glad to know that this man survived.
I can only assume, due the severity of his injuries, that he was not wearing any PPE? Wow - a Class 2 FR coverall or even a shirt might have reduced his injuries to a minimum.
The older I get the more this job scares me - and videos like this one serve to make me doublecheck myself everytime I go to work.

Funniest freudian slip I've heard in a while.
Or you just hit the "r" key by accident because it's right above the "f" key.

No I was never able to get together with them, then got laid off and lost the contact information I had saved on the work computer. Some companies are just paranoid about a laid off employee accessing e-mail, took them less time to lock me out than it did for me to get home.
