this is sounds as bad as when our bus duct blew up at work. needless to say it only last a few seconds but it shut the entire plant down for two days.i belive it was a 1200 amp duct at 480 volts.it caused the breakers to trip in the substation about 4 miles down the road. not only scaring us to death , but having some pretty upset residental customers down the road. come to find out that some one had paralled all the busses to all three pad mounts in the back yard which amounted to about 3600 amps+i think a few of us had to change our shorts, not to mention hide some where when they asked who had done the switch gear. luckily no one was hurt. just scared!
