Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170237333
Event: 02/06/1991
ELECTRIC SHOCK - DIRECT CONTACT WITH ENERGIZED PARTS

An electric utility crew was replacing a pad-mounted transformer that had been damaged by a truck. The crew put the cables through a feed-through bushing and lowered it into the vault. Then the employees replaced the transformer. While they were reconnecting the secondary conductors and ground, the bushing sprang up and contacted the left hand of one of the employees. The bushing was energized by backfeed or a stored charge, and the employee received an electric shock. The employee was hospitalized overnight with numbness in his thumb and two of his fingers.
