Abstract: Two electricians were working on a switchboard in a vault. The employees were going to connect a new switch to an existing switch. They were pulling a 5000-volt shielded conductor through an 8.5-inch-diameter conduit. As one of the electricians reached into the switchboard to pull the conductor through the conduit, the conductor caught on a bushing. An electric arc occurred, and the employee contacted an energized part. He was electrocuted. He was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
