Stray voltage danger to dairy cows discussed at meeting
About two hundred farmers and electricians attended a stray voltage briefing sponsored by UW Extension Northern States Power and Dunn County Electric Cooperative. University of Minnesota scientist Dr. Robert Appleman outlined studies linking low level voltage to cow milking issues, while engineer Charles Forester demonstrated detectors and isolation methods and NSP engineer Duttee Holmes spoke on grounding. Forester noted costs for isolation transformers and described the ITT Blackburn system as part of the effort to identify and reduce stray voltage on farms.
