Stray voltage cited as costly dairy issue at conference
Eau Claire speaker Ben Hamburg, national service manager for Surge, says stray voltage emerged in dairy farms in 1978 after spreading from Canada and New Zealand. He notes 30 percent of farms face issues, costing the industry thousands to millions, with causes including faulty wiring, poor grounds, imbalanced circuits, and off farm sources. He urges teamwork among farmers electricians and utilities to trace and fix problems.
