Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using a steel fish tape in an energized loadcenter could create a dangerous situation by potentially causing a short circuit. It is recommended to de-energize the loadcenter before pulling conductors with any type of fish tape. Therefore, a non-conductive fish tape or another appropriate pulling method should be used in this scenario.
