Abstract: At 2:15 p.m. on May 14, 2019, an employee was performing a 10-year conductor test on 13.8 Kilovolt feeder cables. A coworker opened an energized cabinet instead of the cabinet which had been deenergized and the employee failed to verify de-energization. The employee cut back some insulation and made contact with the live conductor and was electrically shocked. The employee was lost consciousness but was revived by a coworker and EMTs. He was hospitalized for approximately 3 weeks and later had to have his right pinkie finger amputated.
