This practical guidebook presents state-of-the-art information on the flow of ground currents and stray voltage. Readers can learn about the real effects of ground currents, how they operate under the surface of the Earth, and how each current route affects output voltage. The author clears up and wealth of misinformation surrounding stray voltage, and why it has been unjustly blamed for a variety of problems. There are detailed facts on how primary neutral current returns to its source, along with additional useful information to steer a company clear of costly judgments and litigation. The text features job-site considerations and simplified calculations.
