Burned out Bucket



Took a few interesting photos at work today, thought you might want to post them on your blog. Pictures of what happens when 4000A, 480V switchgear decides to find other ways to ground...

Let me know what you think.

All I can say is I'm glad I wasn't there when it happened. I've seen a few things blow up in my day, and it puts the fear of God in me each and every time. It looks like it arced for a while (relatively speaking)
