Years ago I read an article where the high voltage transission lines induced stray voltage for a dairy farmer.
Years ago I personally ran in to stray voltages. All power was off. There was one voltage difference between the water line coming out of the earth and a grounded water heater. I measured one amp flowing when the copper water line was connected to a grounded water heater. Let me say it again, ALL POWER WAS OFF IN THE HOUSE. Measured one volt and one amp AC.
All you can do is try everything and let us know what you find.
Electricity does weird things. The weirdest thing I had happen lately is the dust collector for my planer is made of all plastic. I used a 4 inch aluminum flex pipe to connect the planer to the dust collector. When wood particles go flying through the aluminum flex pipe a static charge is generated that will make you wish you hadn't gotten close. Had to connect a grounding wire to the metal pipe. Both ends of the pipe are connected to plastic, ungrounded.
So, why does wood and aluminum make a static generator? Wonder if one end of the pipe is Positive and the other is negative:) Or all positive or all negative? Perhaps I should put an ammeter on the grounding wire and find out. George
