Has anyone heard about new legislation, ie new state laws regulating Stray voltage ?
I received from another site a letter about Wisconson writing new laws governing stray voltage, especially on dairy farms.
I know this can be a problem but do we really need more government regulation, obsticles and other stumbleing blocks put in the way of industry ?
Why is Wisconson and Minnesota, these two states primarily have such a problem with stray voltage. ?
Not to put all the blame anywhere in particular but the Utility is not always to blame. Having spent a significant amount of time doing work on farms I can certainly attest to the fact that the farm wiring itself is certainly suspect to the production of stray voltage.
Here in Ohio, we have Ohio Edison who is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but is certainly helpful in solving problems such as stray voltage on our local farms. They have even gone so far to install "Neutral blockers" one of their names for a primary neutral isolator to help eleviate the problem.
just curious.
