Last fall I started a series of threads on a local Dairy starting I think with information on RFI, electric fencers, a battery connected to earth with antenna for ground loop disruption, a rebar circle for the same thing, and utility pole grounds.
At the start we found 10 amps flowing on equip grounds, ground loops, etc. Owners purchased thousands of dollars of line filtering equipment which along with the battery & rebar circle were supposed to start improving things within days. No changes. We waited several weeks before starting the least glaring fixes to ensure a gap. With exception of total rewire we have done what we can do and have been given permission for. Went out to check on latest repairs and a PR call. I asked how things were going.
"Cell count is down, heifers are healthier, more cattle coming into heat, vast improvement in foot condition. Those filters must have worked" was the answer.
Hope they pay the last bill cause it is good one.
