Abstract
This case study will describe a major 43 cal/cm2 arc flash fault at a 3,000 amp, 34.5 kV, Motor Operated Air Break (MOAB) Switch that destroyed the switch and the nearby 3,000 amp, 34.5 kV breaker. There were no injuries due to the procedures to operate the devices remotely from a nearby control house.
