Back Feed

hello line comrades, we had an accident last week ..concerning back feed on an under ground light circuit....we were making up a cable in a ph 9 swiching cabnet....the cable only fed one transformer..so we figured we were safe not grounging it....the street light circuit was made hot..about 3/4 of a mile away...came thru the trasnformer...and hit the lineman ....thank god he did not have hes hand on it...he steped up to clean the cable ..it hit him on the genital area...but hes ok now...but he was kick off of the current by another lineman...he stayed in the hospital for 3 days'''...just be careful out there....there was suppose to be several breaks in the secondary...from where it was heated up..to where we were working ..but it wasnt broke....thanks jerry h florida
