## Narrative

An electrician was removing some damaged cable between 2 junction boxes. They de-energized and locked out the power going between the boxes and went to cut the wires to be removed, but they got confused and accidentally cut into the wires coming into the junction box from a transformer that had not been de-energized resulting in arc flash.
