abstract="Contact with overhead power lines is regarded worldwide as one of the leading causes of electrical fatalities. The analysis carried out in this paper refers to a real accident that occurred in Greece a few years ago, involving the contact of a heavy vehicle (concrete pump) with the medium voltage lines of the national distribution network. For a better understanding of the incident, a description of how the protection system of medium voltage distribution lines works when a fault occurs is given. Furthermore, emphasis has been laid on possible ways to avoid similar accidents in the future.<p />",
