Investigation Summary
An electrician was replacing lights at a high school football stadium. He had climbed a utility pole to a position that was about 45 feet above the ground. He was at a crossarm, just above a transformer. He contacted the 7200-volt overhead power line feeding the transformer and was electrocuted. (He fell to the ground when the transformer fuse opened.)
