Investigation Summary
A power line crew was installing an overhead power line in a rural area. One of the power line workers was using a winch attached to a digger-derrick positioned under the line to pull the last phase conductor of the line up to the crossarm of a utility pole. The end of the conductor somehow twisted, causing it to point in a vertical position. The conductor went beneath the insulating blanket covering a conductor on a nearby energized line and contacted the energized line. This energized the digger-derrick, electrocuting an employee leaning against it.
