Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.303(b)(4):Interrupting rating. Equipment intended to interrupt current at fault levels shall have an interrupting rating sufficient for the nominal circuit voltage and the current that is available at the line terminals of the equipment. Equipment intended to interrupt current at other than fault levels shall have an interrupting rating at nominal circuit voltage sufficient for the current that must be interrupted. On or about April 12, 2021, the employer did not ensure a 30 amp, 480 volt branch circuit and receptacle outlet used to power a 30 amp, 480 volt portable welder machine, was installed with overcurrent protection equipment intended to interrupt current at fault levels sufficient for the nominal circuit voltage at fault levels. The overcurrent protective devices being utilized were 150 amp fuses, which were not sufficient to protect the 30 amp branch circuit, receptacle outlet, and portable welder machine.
