Investigation Summary
A four-person power line crew had worked through the night to replace an underground circuit in a commercial area. The existing circuit was not working properly. The work was nearly complete, and the circuit was to be reenergized. To do this, a phasing meter was to measure and match the three phase conductors of the two circuits. The normal procedure for this part of the job called for a live-line phasing tool. However, the phasing meter the crew brought to the worksite was designed to be used only with insulated conductors. It was not designed as a live-line tool. When one of the crew members brought one end of the phasing meter into contact with an uninsulated, 13.2-kilovolt conductor, he was electrocuted.
