Abstract

In 2018, Justin Kropp was working on a transmission circuit in Southern California when disaster struck. Grid operators had earlier shut down the 115-kilovolt circuit, but six high-voltage lines that shared the corridor were still operating, and some of their power sneaked onto the de-energized wires he was working on. That rogue current shot to the ground through Kropp's body and his elevated work platform, killing the 32-year-old father of two.
