Investigation Summary
A power line crew was replacing insulators on a 230-kilovolt overhead power line. Five other circuits ran parallel to the power line on which the crew was working. Two journeyman power line workers on the crew were working from an uninsulated aerial lift. They completed work on the top phase conductor. One of the two employees removed the grounding jumper from the steel arm of the structure before he disconnected it from the phase conductor. He was electrocuted by induced current in the phase conductor.
