Abstract :
Stray voltage has become a major concern to humans as well as dairy cows. The problem is that dairy farms have considerably different requirements than the general costumer population. The paper presents a study on the effect of stray voltage on humans and dairy cows that may eventually lead for both the electric utility company and the dairy farmer to reach agreement over this problem.
