Ee was replacing the cover on a 1'x1' plastic junction box following repair work that had been done by electricians 3 days prior. The 480 v, 3 phase conductors in the box were well taped and insulated, however the circuit was not deenergized. while tucking the conductors inside the juction box with his right hand he apparently contacted wire and energized conductor.
