Stray Voltage

The Iowa Stray Voltage Guide outlines the steps farmers, electricians, utilities and their advisers can take to discover and resolve stray voltage concerns on livestock farms. When farmers and utility companies can work together, stray voltage concerns are more likely to be satisfactorily resolved. This compilation of information was a collaborative effort of Alliant Energy, Iowa Association of Electric Cooperatives, Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, and Iowa State Dairy Association.

Information includes:

  • Common Causes of Stray Voltage

  • Ways to Avoid On-Farm Stray Voltage

  • Farm Wiring Checklist

  • Proper Testing & Installation Procedures

  • Utility Contacts

  • Frequently Asked Questions
