Abstract :
A historical perspective on electric system design changes that have evolved over the years is presented. These changes have provided more safety for the general public, but they also have created electrical contact problems that can affect livestock production. The steps an electric utility can take to reduce these voltages on grounded equipment are discussed, and how to deal with problems on both sides of the meter is considered. A flow chart has been developed for electricians or utility personnel in diagnosing stray voltage complaints
