## Narrative

There was an opening in the bottom of the attached J-box to the load side of the adjacent breaker. This J-box was used as a raceway for cables going to the load side of the de-energized breaker and another set of cables that were abandoned. While disconnecting the drain wires from the cables one of the drain wires landed on the load side of the adjacent breaker and shorted out.
