Prayer Request For A Fellow Marine Electrician
« on: October 04, 2009, 07:29:58 PM »
Just wanted to post that a fellow marine electrician, that works for another company than mine, had a young employee get electrocuted with 380Volt Three Phase  onboard the Olympia, a 158 ft Feadship,  at the Rybovich yard here in Florida. I worked a half day yesterday on the boat next to Olympia on the Quantum Of Solace. Seen him a few times, and talked to him several times last week. Good Kid, twenty something.

His name is Jeff. I don't know his last name.

His right hand had a hole literally blown through it, and was bleeding badly. He was alert and walking but with voltage that high, it makes an entry and exit wound like a bullet, and can cause internal damage. He was taken to the hospital by a co-worker, and I do not know the status as of tonight. My partner called and gave me the news.

Don't know what went wrong, or how, but 380 is no joke, I'm on a 480VAC system right now, but it is offline and bypassed.

Whether he works for another company or not doesn't matter, and I am praying for his recovery. His right hand sounds badly damaged.

Yup, on the list. I can't imagine walking around after getting zapped with 380 3-phase, tough kid. Let Jeff know we are praying for him, for his full recovery.

I've seen a lot of electrical injuries, and they are like any other burn - they continue getting worse before they stabilize and eventually, hopefully, get better.

He is most certainly on the ever growing list!

I know what electrical (480v) burns feel like......more intense than regular fire.

I will definitely pray for him.
