I quit work for over an hour because of that. Took out the whole section of a FOB when I did that.


No voltage or amperage is on the low end.
thankfully it wasnt a really serious arc flash or you would be buried. ive seen 480 volts blow too many times to discuss over the years.

i remember doing the new chillers at the U.S. Mint. 4200 volt GE Multilin starters we had to rewire the internals to go from one brand spec to another in terms of interlocks. we had to bring the ge tech in to program a few things like ramp timing, fla, etc. when we turned that sumbitch on that poor dude was crapping his pants, lol.
