Investigation Summary
A substation maintenance worker was testing surge arrestors. He was working from an aerial lift. The employee swung the bucket of the aerial lift toward a deenergized, but ungrounded, 230-kilovolt power line. He was electrocuted when he contacted the surge arrestor for that phase.
