Case Study: Transformer Room Accident Some years ago an accident occurred in an 11 KV electrical sub-station in Selangor, when are flashover occurred in a transformer room of the sub-station. Four workers were severely injured while one of them suffered burns over 50% of his body and had to receive treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a hospital. The accident occured when a worker was loosening the power supply wire to a Circuit Breaker, when accidently a part of the victim's body i.e. his head, touched equipment on entering the clearance space of the 11KVA Power System. As a result, short circuit and flashover occurred which resulted in an explosion that injured the workers. Subsequent investigations determined that the working space was not suitable for such risky and dangerous jobs, i.e. in this case involving currents pertaining to high voltages. It was determined from the accident investigation analysis that the divider separating the electrical powered section from the under-repair section was missing. This can cause any part of the workmen's bodies to be exposed to the dangers of electrocution if the work is not done with extreme caution.
