## Narrative

A insulator on our primary 46 kv power line broke in half causing a span to fall out of tension and contact the 12 kv secondary power line. This contact caused both the primary breaker located at AEP's Sophia substation to lock out and our 12 kv breaker to trip as well. Power was lost to the main elevator/hoist and the miners were withdrawn with the emergency 19-man hoist.
