And not if it's carrying a load. There is a procedure for working on energized 440 VAC utility equipment. That requires a full-body-spaceman-like suit which can handle any potential arc flash. When I worked at LANL, our electrical safety classes included watching an unprotected fellow working on energized 440 VAC equipment and dropping a metallic tool, resulting in an arc flash. It was not pretty. Thankfully, they did not show us the aftermath.
