Stray Voltage

Image - Milking

Stray voltage (also known as "tingle" voltage) is any voltage that appears in metal work, stanchions, pipes, conduits, etc. It is usually caused by current trying to get back to the transformer by the easiest route. Stray voltage can cause discomfort to farm animals; for example if a cow touches a metal feeder that is charged with stray voltage, it gives her a shock as the current passes through her body. This leaflet outlines the causes and solutions to the problem of stray voltage.
