Togol, thanks for sharing your experiences with this. I work in a power plant and frequently do the switching in the high voltage rack and appreciate how very lucky everyone is to walk away from this one. I have seen a few failures, but thankfully nothing of this magnitude, and nothing caused by faulty procedure. Someone must have had to clean out their pants after this one.
One point though, are you missing a decimal point in your voltages? Our generators put out 13.8 Kv, and our primary switchrack uses 34.5 Kv. At first I thought you must have been working with a really large unit, but the numbers just make more sense to me with the decimals.
