Your kidding me. No grounds on an electrical appliance within 20' of water much less a GFCI?"We just have never had an incident like this occur along the Bricktown Canal. So it's just tragic,” said Yager.
Yager says the lights are not grounded, adding that the city is unable to make the conversion because of the age of the lights.
The man who died has been identified as 23-year-old Wesley Seeley.
The other man has not been identified but is in critical condition.
277 volts is one leg of a 480 three phase system commonly used in industrial and commercial lighting systems when they used Metal Halide and sodium bulbs.Those lights are 277v from what I heard the news say this morning. Have never seen or heard of a GFCI on 277 but I am not an electrician, just been around a lot of commercial lighting and never heard of it.
