Mark Warden said: (quoted from post at 11:52:40 02/08/10) After spending all day Saturday in the barn checking most things that were brought up in this forum this is what I came up with. I removed all circuits from my breaker box and the 2+ volts are coming in on the utilities neutral wire, so I removed all grounds from the ground buss bar leaving only the neutrals hooked there and took them to the ground rod this took the 2+ volts away from my waterier when I hooked it back up. I checked all ground connection that I could get to from the barn to the meter pole and all were good, must be coming from down stream somewhere. Should the electric company be able to fix this issue or is this normal? Again thanks for everyones input, a great place to get info.!!!!!

Mark, I had a relative who had that problem so severe that his cows would get a shock from the metal railings on his feed bunkers. After working with PPL on ground rods , adding extra grounds to no avail for a time the decision was made to install an Isolation Transformer as another suggested. That cured his problem but so many of his animals suffered neurological damage that he was forced to leave dairying and moved out of the area. This is a mysterious problem, an employee of PPL told me that there was a barn far away from the lines and the building had no electrical service ever installed that had measurable voltage on the metal stalls. If you are trying to raise animals bite the bullet and get the Isolation Transformer.
