NA--SS-SNL-2000-2016-0005 Electrical Shock of Worker Performing R&D Work
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
At approximately 10am on 6/29/16 during testing of the DVFS2.0 fireset, an employee was shocked by a capacitor as he was removing it from the fireset following a test. The test, which was documented in a Technical Work Document (TWD) was to charge the fireset and discharge it into a fixed resistive load. The fireset was used within a Center 2600 Electrical Safety Box (ESB). Another employee acted as the required Second Person. Following the final test during which the 0.5uF capacitor was charged to 2500V (according to the voltage divider built into the fireset), the capacitor was allowed to discharge.
