Investigation Summary
A three-member power line crew was installing a neutral on a three-phase, 72-kilovolt overhead power line. One 174-meter-long span on the line had an unusually low-hanging sag. Two of the employees pulled the neutral up by hand, and it contacted a phase conductor. The employees received electric shocks and sustained electrical burns on their hands and feet. They were hospitalized for their injuries.
