Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 603654

Event: 09/12/1994

Electric Shock - Contact with Overhead Line thru Conductor

A power line worker was removing one 4/0 ACSR phase conductor of a three-phase, Y-connected overhead power line (13.2 kilovolts phase to phase, 7620 volts phase to ground). The conductor had been deenergized the previous day, and it had fallen into some trees. The power line worker retrieved the conductor from the trees. Carrying the conductor on his shoulder and holding it with both hands, the employee took four to six steps. The conductor contacted the lower remaining energized phase conductor, and the worker was electrocuted. He was found lying face down, still grasping the conductor in both hands with the conductor over his shoulder.
