Investigation Summary
A five-person power line crew was replacing insulators and crossarms, where needed, on a deenergized, 230-kilovolt overhead power line. An energized 230-kilovolt overhead power line was located about 15.2 meters to the north of the deenergized line. Two power line workers were in a Hi-Ranger aerial lift, getting in position to lift the middle, and last, phase conductor into place on an insulator attached to the crossarm of the structure supporting the power line. One of the two employee picked up the phase conductor with one arm, and the grounding conductor, which was located on the cross brace of the structure, with the other arm. He was electrocuted by current induced in the deenergized line. The line conductors had not been bonded or grounded.
