Abstract: An employee was moving a 480-volt portable conveyor. He had not unplugged the conveyor. As he moved the machine, the plug pulled away from the conductors. The employee reconnected the conductors himself, transposing a black ungrounded circuit conductor and the green equipment grounding conductor in the process. The next morning, another employee plugged in the conveyor and was electrocuted when the ground fault in the plug energized the frame of the conveyor.
