Narrative

EE was trouble shooting a ground fault in the master station on the miner. After isolating the control breaker and transformer, he started hooking heads back to the control breaker. He had locked the main breaker, but did not lock out at the power center. While connecting leads, the EE removed trouble shooting gloves, his hand came in contact with a lead on the main breaker.
