Stray voltage on farms traced to farmers’ wiring flaws
Wisconsin power officials say all 15 stray voltage inquiries in a two year span in a Tomah Manston Port Edwards Stratford district were farmer caused. Unbalanced loads on 120 volt motors on 240 volt outlets were common, with faulty equipment and grounding also blamed. Grounding practices from older installations and rusting ground rods are frequent issues.
