Abstract: AN EMPLOYEE WAS WORKING IN A SUBSTATION YARD, SHUNTING CURRENT TRANSFORMERS IN A CABINET AND REMOVING CONDUCTORS FROM THEM. A COWORKER WAS REMOVING THE CORRESPONDING CONDUCTORS AT A TERMINAL BOARD IN A BUILDING IN THE SUBSTATION. THE PROCEDURE THEY WERE USING THEN CALLED FOR THEM TO INDUCE VOLTAGE IN THE CONDUCTORS SO THAT THEY COULD IDENTIFY THEM. THE FIRST EMPLOYEE FAILED TO SHUNT A CURRENT TRANSFORMER BEFORE REMOVING ITS CONDUCTORS. WHEN HE REMOVED THE CONDUCTORS, THE VOLTAGE ROSE TO ABOUT 2000 VOLTS, AND THE EMPLOYEE RECEIVED AN ELECTRIC SHOCK. THE CURRENT ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS WERE HIS RIGHT HAND, HIS RIGHT ELBOW, AND BOTH HIS KNEES. THE EMPLOYEE WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR HIS INJURY. HIS COWORKER ALSO RECEIVED AN ELECTRIC SHOCK THOUGH HIS LEFT HAND.
