Investigation Summary
An electrical crew was pulling flexible conduit through a hole bored in the ground. The conductors in the conduit were to be installed in a pad-mounted transformer. The120-volt circuit ran from the transformer to a nearby cellular telephone tower. The two 120-volt buses in the transformer were covered by rubber insulation. One of the employees was working near the transformer when he apparently fell and dislodged one of the covers. He fell against the uncovered bus and was electrocuted. (The transformer was owned by an electric utility.)
